Original Toronto Star caption: Then and now. How we've changed: Back in 1967; Star photographer Boris Spremo stood on the steps of the Old City Hall and snapped this photograph (above) of the south-west corner of Bay and Queen St.; then dominated by the City Hall Branch of the Toronto-Dominion Bank. The Temple Building can be seen in the background. Today - 16 years later - the T.D. Bank is housed in a glass skyscraper (left). That's the Thomson Building; right.
