Description

Toronto Then and Now pairs vintage images of Canada's largest city - and North America's fourth most populous - with the same views as they look today.

Toronto has long been a financial powerhouse in North America, and this is represented by its many grand bank buildings. Canada's capital may be Ottawa, but the financial power emanates from this thriving city, the fourth most populous in North America.
