Original Toronto Star caption: Out with the old: Some of the people who swarmed through the Old Victoria Hotel yesterday give a glance to a chair held by orm Webster during the auction of the hotel's furnishings. The auction brought an undignified end to the 83-year-old hotel, but it will soon be renovated and its character maintained, says new owner Charles Goldsmith of Ontario Consolidated Realty Investments.
