    I believe it’s this office building which was attached to the old Union Station at Front and Simcoe?

This is from circa 1921. In the summer of 1920 the Harbour Commission cancelled all the leases of the waterfront clubs and began infilling the harbour. The building on the right is the abandoned Royal Canadian Yacht Club building. Not visible in the frame would’ve been the Toronto Canoe Club. All this is under the Gardiner expressway today
