This is what Toronto looked like in the 1910s

Toronto of the 1910s is remarkably well-documented in photographs.

Whether it be the soldiers heading off to war at old Union Station, the style of the signs and advertisements on downtown streets, or just how undeveloped the city was north of St. Clair, the photos below offer a portrait of Toronto that's fascinatingly removed from what the city is like today. 

Here's a glimpse at what it all looked like in the 1910s.
