Present Past is a dynamic approach to a rephotographic survey.
The City of Toronto has gone through many changes over the years. Certain buildings have stood the test of time and are dwarfed by the towers that surround them. Others have disappeared altogether. This series includes both to show the ever-changing face of the City of Toronto.
Vintage images from the Toronto Archives are merged with modern day images.
Toronto Board of Trade

The Toronto Board of Trade occupied the building from 1892 – 1914 when it was sold. When the TTC formed in 1921, it occupied the building until 1958. Later that year the structure was demolished. In the 1960's many other buildings along Front St faced the same end.
