Shell Oil Tower

Exhibition Loop looking southwest toward the Shell Oil (later Bulova) Tower and the brand new Ontario Place in 1971. The skeleton of The Flyer is visible just west of the tower. The tower was demolished in 1986 to make way for the Indy race course.

The car is anachronistically signed “Fort St. Clair”, a route and destination that went out of use in 1966. This shot is from a fantrip and, as you can see from the clock, it’s rather late at night.

One thought on “

  1. Steve, do you remember the Bulova clock tower? It stood next to Exhibition Stadium, the original home of the Toronto Blue Jays.

    Steve: Of course I do. That’s my photo you’re commenting on, and that’s the tower. It was built as the Shell Oil tower and later renamed the Bulova tower.
