The Esplanade now begins as a two-lane street at Yonge Street, south of Front Street, north of the railway viaduct. To the north is the Sony Centre for the Arts with the "L Tower" condominium tower wedged in behind. Going east, both sides of the street are lined with late 20th-Century or early 21st Century mid-rise and high-rise condominium projects. On the ground floors are numerous restaurants and retail stores. The north side of the street has a wide enough sidewalk that t...he restaurants have patios. Further to the east, along the north side, are older industrial buildings, such as the Greey's Toronto Mill Furnishing Works Factory at #70, which have been repurposed into commercial space. The street continues as a two-lane with wide north-side sidewalk east of Church Street as far west as Market Lane. Between here and Jarvis Street is the south building of St. Lawrence Market on the north side and the temporary location of the Market's farmer's market building. . From the east of Jarvis, The Esplanade is primarily residential, and primarily low-rise. The street is a two-lane road, with a large open space along the south side, used for park and recreation space. On the south side of the open space is the St. Lawrence housing development. Along the north side are various late 20th Century low-rise apartment projects. The St. Lawrence Recreation Centre is located along the north side of the street, east of Sherbourne, next to Market Lane Public School. This street form continues east to Berkeley Street, one block west of Parliament Street. On the north-west corner is the Berkeley Castle, the former 1871 Toronto Knitting & Yarn Factory, repurposed as commercial space. . #torontoneighbourhoods #esplanade #lakeshoreapparel #stlawrencemarket #stlawrence

Lawrence Heights is located on the old Mulholland farm. Henry Mulholland was one of North York's earliest pioneers settling in this area in 1814. Mulholland's heirs continued to live on the family farm until the 1940's when it was sold to developers. . In the early 1950's Lawrence Heights was transformed from farmland into one of Toronto's largest public housing developments. The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation oversaw the design and building of this entire neighbourh...ood. . John Sewell in The Shape of the City writes that Lawrence Heights was originally slated to include high-rise apartment towers. This was before Jack Brown a government official and former World War II pilot, took a reconnaissance flight over the project site, and recognized that Lawrence Heights was to close to the Downsview Airport to permit high-rise apartments within this development. The revised plan incorporated the row-houses and low-rise buildings that comprise the present day neighbourhood. . #lawrenceheights #northyork #yyz #torontoneighbourhoods #lakeshoreapparel

Seaton Village was originally settled by Colonel David Shank and Captain Samuel Smith. Both men were loyalists who served under John Graves Simcoe in the Queens Rangers. In the early 1800's, the Shank and Smith farm lots were acquired by George Crookshank. . ... The Crookshank estate began at the foot of Bathurst Street where it overlooked the lake. A laneway from the Crookshank house ran north to his country farm, where Seaton Village is today. The Crookshank laneway is now part of Bathurst Street. . Seaton Village is named after Lord Seaton, a former Lieutenant Governor of Canada. The Village was laid out on the old Crookshank farm in the 1850's. However, residential development of the present day neighbourhood did not commence until around 1888, when Seaton Village was annexed by the City of Toronto. . #toronto #torontoneighbourhoods #seatonvillage #northyork #scarborough #york #christiepits #mensapperel #womensapparel #homeistoronto #lakeshoreapparel #the6

Davisville Village is named after John Davis, who immigrated to Canada from Staffordshire, England in 1840. John Davis served as Davisville's first postmaster and helped found the Davisville Public School. He also operated the Davis Pottery, which became the Village's largest employer. . The south part of Davisville was subdivided in the 1860's on land owned mostly by the Davis family. The north part of the Village belonged to the Church. This latter tract of land, known as ...the Davisville Glebe, remained undeveloped until 1911 when it was sold to the Dovercourt Land and Building Company, the same company that oversaw the development of the Lawrence Park neighbourhood. . The former Davisville Post Office was run by John Davis' grandson Jack. This two-storey building is still standing on the north-east corner of Yonge Street and Davisville Avenue. . #torontoneighbourhoods #torontonightlife #torontoapparel #davisville #lakeshoreapparel #northyork

The town of York was founded in 1793, on a site of ten blocks north of Front Street between George and Berkeley streets, in present day Old Town, Toronto. Much of the area of today's St. Lawrence neighbourhood was then located in Toronto Harbour, the shoreline being just south of Front Street. The area was infilled to provide more land for port and industrial uses adjacent. St. Lawrence was the first industrial area of York. . ... A Saturday farmers' market began operation at Front and Jarvis in 1803. The current South Market building, south of Front, is open Tuesday through Saturday, selling foods and other goods. The North Market building hosted a farmers' market on Saturdays and a flea market on Sundays until its demolition in 2016, at which time they both moved to a temporary building south of The Esplanade. A new, larger North Market Building will be built on the original site, with a planned completion in 2021. . Commercial activity along Toronto's bustling harbour provided employment and was the primary place of entry to the quickly growing, burgeoning city. The convergence of the railway lines and the wharves must have worked because in 1873 historian Henry Scadding so eloquently wrote in his book Old Toronto of The Esplanade "...It has done for Toronto what the Thames Embankment has done for London..." . #toronto #torontoneighbourhoods #lakeshoreapparel #stlawrencemarket #stlawrence #esplanade #6ix #torontolifestyle #torontoapparel

The Lawrence Park subdivision was assembled in 1907 by the Dovercourt Land Building and Saving Company. The Dovercourt Land Company acquired the north parcel of Lawrence Park from John Lawrence, after whom this neighbourhood is named. . Wilfred Servington Dinnick was the president of the Dovercourt Land Company. It was under Dinnick's direction that Lawrence Park was developed as a suburb for the 'well to do'. .... The first advertisement for Lawrence Park trumpeted it as an 'aristocratic neighbourhood', 'four hundred feet above Lake Ontario', and 'Far from the Lake Winds in Winter'. . Despite all its fanfare, Lawrence Park's development was sporadic. The building of houses was interrupted by two world wars, a recession, and a depression. It wasn't until the 1950's that this neighbourhood was completely developed . #toronto #torontoneighbourhoods #lawrencepark #leaside #leasidetoronto #yongeandlawrence #midtowntoronto #yongestreet #yongeandeglinton #torontolifestyle #torontoapparel #lakeshoreapparel

Mimico's founding families were mostly farmers arriving in the mid 1800s. soon after, a subdivision was planned, advertising that Mimico was only '8 minutes' from Toronto by train. That's pretty ambitious even by today's standards. The strip along Lake Shore Boulevard east of Park Lawn, formerly a strip of motels, became an area of numerous condominium apartment buildings. This strip is now commonly referred to as 'Park Lawn' or 'Humber Bay Shores'. Lake Shore Blvd. West is also home to many Eastern European Delicatessen, independent stores and bakeries, giving the area an Eastern European atmosphere

The Beaches were first settled by the Ashbridge family who came to Canada from Philadelphia, in 1793. This is where Ashbridge's Bay Park gets its name from. The Beach looks and feels more like a lakeside resort town, than a big city neighbourhood. Woodbine, Kew Gardens, Scarboro, Balmy Beach and Victoria Park collectively became Toronto's playgrounds by the lake.... The Beaches' most famous landmark is The Boardwalk. The Boardwalk is skirted by the Martin Goodman Trail which spans the city's waterfront from The Beach to the Humber River. #torontoneighbourhoods #lakeshoreapparel #thebeaches #thebeachestoronto #scarborough #eastyork #martingoodmantrail #lakeontario #ontario

Hogtown" was a widely used nickname for Toronto starting in the late 1800s. This was mostly due to its bustling pork industry, thanks, more or less, to one man's business. William Davies, born in 1831 in Wallingford, England, emigrated to Canada in 1854, and soon thereafter set up a stall in Toronto's St. Lawrence Market, where he sold cured hams and bacon. Davies rented a facility at Front and Frederick Streets, a few blocks east of St. Lawrence Market, and was able to purch...ase and expand the plant in 1875. Soon, he was shipping millions of pounds annually of salt-cured pork. The William Davies building at 145 Front Street East, later occupied by the J. & J. Safeworks, still stands today. In 1879, William Davies constructed a new facility further to the east, on the south side of Front Street at the Don River, which soon became the second largest pork processing plant on the continent. In addition to curing pork for export, he began slaughtering and processing hogs, and his business became the first continuous/moving rail hog-slaughtering facility in Canada.
