- Scope & content
- Fonds consists of 8,405 original 35mm colour slides of Toronto created by local amateur photographer Harvey R. Naylor from 1954 to 1984. Naylor, a film and sound technician by trade, was keenly interested in the Toronto history, architecture, and local transit. He photographed many of Toronto's historic buildings and neighbourhoods, including churches, parks, streetscapes and transit networks, as well as demolition and construction sites throughout the city. Naylor concentrated most of his photography in Toronto's downtown core. Slides include numerous shots of Old and New City Hall, the City Hall Annex, Toronto's financial district, Yonge Street, King Street East, St. Lawrence Market, the Gooderham & Worts Distillery District, and events and activities at Toronto's waterfront. There are also slides of the Confederation Life Building before and after its 1981 restoration, the demolition of the Toronto Street Railway (TSR)/Toronto Railway Company (TRC) shops in 1979, the restoration of the King Edward Hotel in 1979-1981, and well over 900 slides documenting the redevelopment of T. Eaton Co. Limited properties including its Yonge-Queen main department store into the Eaton's Centre in 1975-1984. Slides of the 1977 fire that destroyed the Eaton's Annex and nearby warehouses during redevelopment are also part of this set. Photographs from 1956 to 1984 were all taken with a Leica IIIF camera and nearly every photograph was shot on 35mm Kodachrome film. Naylor organized his slides by subject and then arranged them chronologically within each subject set. Each set of slides was placed into a file folder by the City of Toronto Archives.
