Deja Views: Another side of the Beach Fire Hall

This photo of the northeast corner of Queen Street East and Woodbine Avenue showing the Beach Fire Hall was taken by David Sweeney back when gas prices had just jumped to more than one dollar a litre, there was always time for a coffee, and newspaper boxes and telephone booths could still be found at major intersections. Photo by David Sweeney.

This archival photograph (above) was taken when gasoline first broke past the one dollar a litre barrier. The view is easterly on Queen Street East by Woodbine Avenue.

Lost after 25 years is the prominence of a Beach landmark.

Fact: Did you know that the fire hall tower is not a architectural add-on to display four rather large clocks? Its primary function is to dry and store fire hoses.

Do you have an old photograph of the Woodbine and Queen area or the fire hall you’d like to share with our readership?
