Dundas St. and Keele St. in @TorontoJunction, 1968 and 2020. Campbell Block was built 1888 and painted white during the 1960s. Original orange brick was refurbished around 2014. Dundas streetcar was replaced by the 40 Junction bus north of Bloor in 1968. 2020 photo taken by me.
S.S. Kresge Co. at 2890 Dundas St. in its final days, March 1994. Photo taken by Joe Klich.This building was then taken over by Blockbuster which closed in 2012. Today there is a Dollarama where Kresge once was. Join the Junction Historical Society at wtjhs.ca!
