Dufferin Street Gate, C.N.E. (1910-1958)
A watercolour of the old, now demolished, Dufferin Gate at the Canadian National Exhibition, showing two tall stone towers with pointed roofs linked by an arched sign. The walkway in the foreground is shaded and uneven, with a few small figures walking toward the gate. A tall curved streetlamp stands on the right, beside a long row of vertical columns. Soft grey and blue washes create a cloudy sky and muted atmosphere.
