View of King Street, Toronto's main thoroughfare during much of the nineteenth century, looking east from Toronto Street.
<p>This stretch of King Street was an early focal point of Toronto, as it contained many of the main shops, the old jail (1827-1840), the courthouse (1827-1855) and St. James Anglican Church (1833-1849). Market/City Hall was further east, at King and Nelson (Jarvis) Streets.
