This image above of the northeast corner of Selwood Avenue and Glen Manor Drive was taken by well-known photographer of the City of Toronto, James Victor Salmon.
There are more than 15,000 images of his in the City of Toronto Archives. Most of his work was shot in the mid half of the last century, including this photo, in 1955. His main focus was “old Toronto” but I am glad that he, on occasion, ventured into the Beach.
