Yonge & Isabella

This was the corner where I used to live. I was fascinated to uncover what the neighborhood looked like in the past. From what I can tell Isabella was a residential street consisting of homes built between 1890's and 1920's. It developed between what was the town of Yorkville and the blossoming city of Toronto. Isabella runs from Yonge Street to Sherborne and for a time was broken between Church and Jarvis by what i believe was farm land, forest or a park. The first set of images are a comparison of Yonge street 1950's and 2009 the other two are from 1970's and 2009.
