Dundas and Spadina looking E
August 1967. The building on the northeast corner was, at that time, the Victory Burlesque. Many of the houses along Dundas still exist, but they have been converted to shops in what would become “Chinatown 2″ as the original area around City Hall was pushed westward. Many more were demolished for new buildings.
This section of Dundas was a proposed route for a six-lane arterial through downtown connecting the Spadina Expressway to the DVP. A few buildings stepped back from the street based on the new, wider street layout (the police station at Simcoe, the Eaton Centre), but much of the 4-lane Dundas Street survives.
