Photo of the Day

Photo of the Day August 7 2012

Our Photo of the Day for August 7, 2012 is a simply wonderful shot from the Toronto Archives circa 1909.

I would love to know what was going through the minds of these two intrepid explorers!

The photo was taken just one year after the post office was established at A.H. Mitchell’s store in 1908.
