Original Toronto Star caption: Toronto then and now. Back in 1965; The Star's Boris Spremo Photographed the black office building on the north-west corner of Yonge and Eglinton (left). Then the building was something of a big shot: It marked the end of the subway line and was the tallest structure around. These days; it is dwarfed by taller office towers (right) and is now many stops from the end of the extended subway.
