Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Last call? Patrons at the Hotel Isabella on Sherbourne St. enjoy an afternoon thirst-quencher yesterday and talk about the building's impending renovations. Many lament that chrome, ferns and strangers may take over the establishment where prostitutes and brain surgeons rub shoulders. Ripped up floorboards kept the fire stoked as they chatted.
