| This
aerial photograph was taken by the Toronto Telegram in 1949, a time
when Thornhill was still a rural community. Yonge Street can be seen
running diagonally from the right side to the top left corner of the
photo. In the middle of the upper third portion of the
photo, the Thornhill Hotel can be seen. Less
than one year after this photo was
taken this building was destroyed in a devastating fire that, for a
while, threatened the safety of much of the village. This photo also
provides a good view of the out buildings and gardens which sat behind
the houses on the west side of Yonge Street. |
