Bedford Park HotelThe Bedford Park Hotel was built in 1873 by Charles McBride (a previous owner of Montgomery Tavern among others) who used building materials from Finch's Hotel which he tore down just for this purpose. The two story building served as a hotel until 1908 when the area prohibited the sale of alcohol. Around 1915 it became the first home of the Fairlawn Avenue United Church, and slowly disappeared behind commercial buildings along Yonge Street. It was finally torn down in the mid-1970s.

Broadview House HotelThe imposing Romanesque-style building on the north-west corner of Broadview and Queen Street east is currently best known as the location of Jilly's Strip club, but it has a long and varied history. One of Toronto's oldest existing buildings, it is listed in the City's Inventory of Heritage Properties.Originally built by Archibald Dingman in 1893 as an office building, it was first known as Dingman's Hall and often served as a meeting place, with rooms rented out to visiting Shriners, Masons, etc... It was then known as the Broadview Hotel, and as the Lincoln Hotel for a time around 1933. It is now a boarding house, known as the New Broadview Hotel.

Caer Howell HotelWilliam Dummer Powell built his second home in Toronto - Caer Howell - in 1810, along Taddle Creek just south of what is now Orde St. west of University Ave. In 1853 "it was improved with a new front, and again in 1860 it was enlarged" ending up eventually in the second empire style, with a wrap around porch with a balcony along the top.In 1837 the property and building was sold to Henry Layton who converted it into a private club, and then into a hotel and tavern, complete with a wooden gate reading 'Caer Howell' ...more Follow this link to our 8 entries, dated from 1830 to 1914 related to Caer_Howell_Hotel |

Half Way HouseAlexander Thompson built this two storey Georgian inn between 1847 and 1848 as a resting place for stage coach passengers. Around it grew the small town of Mortlake (established in 1865). The building served as a hotel, then an apartment building, and finally stores were opened on the main floor (the Bluffs Smoke Shop was a long-time tennant, with The Midland Bargain Centre in 1950 replaced by Albert Christensen's television, radio, and appliance repair shop in 1952 which was then replaced with a paint store by 1953). Somewhere along the way it lost its two storey front porch, but retained the center door with small windows on either side, and its two pairs of chimneys on either end of the building. It was eventually dismantled in 1962, moved to Black Creek Pioneer Village and rebuilt in 1966 where it stands today.

Lakeshore Motel StripLong gone now, replaced with waterfront condos, Lakeshore Ave West along the Humber Bay was known as the Motel strip. Popular from the late 1940's through the 1960's when the stretch of road was Hwy 2, the 1966 opening of the Gardiner Expressway was the start of the long decline of the area.There were many Motor Inns around Toronto, and this stretch served the downtown core, and people coming to town for the CNE. But the neon signs and outdoor swimming pools couldn't compete with chain hotels. You will notice a lot of these photos came from a wonderful collection of photos by Toronto Archivist and photographer Patrick Cummins on a walk he took on Wednesday, January 26, 1983.
