Our Photo of the Day for August 14, 2012 is another great snapshot in time from the Toronto Archives.
This photograph was taken in 1927 at the corner of Kingston Road and Birchmount Road, long before the condos were built, or the gas station that used to be at the corner.
If you’ve got an old photo of Birch Cliff, we’d love to feature it as our Photo of the Day!
Kingston Road and Birchmount Road, 1927
An enthusiastic crowd of more than 200 people gathered on Saturday to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Branch 13 of the Royal Canadian Legion on Kingston Road.
Two more affordable apartment buildings in Birch Cliff have been targeted for redevelopment, which means there are now four proposed “demovictions” in the neighbourhood affecting tenants in a total of 155 rental units.
Opposition is muted to a comparatively modest eight-storey condo building proposed for 1161 Kingston Rd. at Courcelette Road, the current site of Spiros & Sons gas station.
A community association meeting will be held on Wed. Dec. 9 to discuss the ten condominium projects underway or pending in Birch Cliff, including Lenmore Court, where tenants have been told they will be displaced.
