Yonge & Eglinton
At Yonge and Eglinton is yet another concentration of high-rises in the area around a subway station. Not just office towers, but also apartments and condos. One office tower shown above was one of the shooting locations for the television series "The New Avengers".
Eglinton Avenue is the longest east-west street in the city. In the days before amalgamation, it was the only street that went through all six constituent municipalities of Metro Toronto.
Postal Station "K" was built on the site of Montgomery's Tavern where, in 1837, William Lyon Mackenzie (the first mayor of Toronto in 1834) and his followers started an unsuccessful rebellion.
