Deja Views: A look back along Queen Street East in 1939

By DAVID VAN DYKE

There’s little info on this archival photograph above. The photographer is unknown. The location is the sunny side (north) of Queen Street East, just east of Wheeler Avenue.

The date is 1939. At this time William Lyon Mackenzie King was our Prime Minister and a pack of smokes would set you back 20 cents.

Do you have an old photograph of a storefront on Queen Street East you’d like to share with our readership?
