There are also views taken from the CN Tower, downtown streetscapes, and photographs of significant buildings (some of which no longer exist) including the Court Street Police Station, the Land Titles Office on Albert Street, St. James Cathedral, O'Keefe Centre, the Armouries on University Avenue, Massey Hall, Campbell House on Duke Street, the Manning Arcade on King Street West, Ryerson Polytechnical School (formerly the Normal School), the Son's of England Hall on Richmond Street East, the Telegram Building, the Prudential Building at King and Yonge, the Sun Life Building at Adelaide and Victoria, the Darrigo Brothers store at King and Church, Clayton's store on Yonge Street (prior to its demolition), the U.S. Fidelity Trust Building at Victoria and King (prior to its demolition), and the Coughlan Building (Sword Restaurant) on King Street West. The photographer's arrangement of the slides under general subject headings has been maintained. The individual slides are numbered, and there is a listing of each slide on index cards, organized by subject chronologically (see File 14).
