Cottingham Square, 1913

You can see the top of the original North Toronto Station in the distance - centre of picture to the right of the tree. There is an embankment in front of it; this spelled the end of our little station as it was at ground level. The embankment was built to serve the larger, better known and still extant 2nd North Toronto Station to the east across Yonge street.

Cottingham Square. To get to this park; get off at Summerhill station and walk 1/2 a block south to Birch and then a block west.
