Inscriptions Typed in ink on slip of paper placed behind photograph: Toronto, Canada. Taken by A. Thomas Nelson about 1903 to 1905 when there as a delegate to the International Sunday School Convention. Mr. Nelson could tell more about all of these pictures could I ask him, but I know this was taken as he thought it curious that throughout downtown Toronto at that time, one would find such old buildings as these directly across the street from some of the finest buildings. At this time, Mr. Nelson was doing chalk talk work and lecturing with the Ohio State Sunday School Tour Party. See "The Caldron" among Niagara Falls pictures for further information.
