    Hi Les ! All the infos I got (the dates) were from Lovell’s The Tramway bldg was at 3980 while the Bank of Montreal was at 4026 Wellington. Their impressive architectures were very similar. ***************** Photo of 3980 Wellington today: (Lunetterie Farhat)   ***************** Photo of 4026 Wellington today: (Centre informatique Auberge communautaire)   JM

    Hi Maggie ! Thanks for your 1953 post of Wellington St. The bldg I’m looking for is on the opposite side of the street: 3980 Wellington. Have a nice day ! JM

    Is that the location of Woolworth's then? This building is similar to the style of the pharmacy in your post and the building to the left resembles the bank style. I do remember a similar building on the corner next to Woolworth's (The Dollar Store now) though. Any other thoughts on this?
