Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Dramatic contrast seen everywhere on Toronto's skyline is evidenced in this view of the Simpson Tower (left) at Queen and Bay Sts. and the spires of Metropolitan Unted Church at Queen and Church Sts. Planners say the well-established trend will continue. New buildings; they say; will dwarf what were formerly towering landmarks.
