Queen's Quay, like so many areas around downtown Toronto, has undergone massive change over the last few decades., one of our city's most southerly streets is now something of a neighbourhood unto itself, complete with condos galore, tourist attractions and office space.
But what did the street look like before all this development? Although it's probably not a place to get particularly nostalgic about, it's always intriguing to situate the city within the context of its industrial past. Queen's Quay was born at the turn to the 20th century, when various efforts were made to expand the city southwardUp until the early 1970s, the street bore an almost exclusively industrial character save for the ferry docks. Streetcar service arrived in the late 1920s, only to disappear some 50 years years later before its eventual return in 1989.
