Queens Quay is an underground streetcar station of the Toronto streetcar system in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is the only underground streetcar station that is not part of or connected to a Toronto subway station (Union, Spadina, and St. Clair West subway stations have underground stations for streetcars as well). It was opened in 1990 as part of the former Harbourfront LRT route. The station is now served by the 509 Harbourfront, 510 Spadina daytime routes and the 310 Spadina night route.The station is named after Queens Quay, an adjacent street skirting Toronto's waterfront. The station's internal signage bears the subtitle "Ferry Docks", a reference to the nearby Jack Layton Ferry Terminal for the Toronto Island ferries that provide pedestrian access to the Toronto Islands. This station did not open at the same time as the rest of the Harbourfront line it served, due to disputes regarding direct access to nearby businesses that eventually fell through. Additionally, after the station did open, the "FERRY DOCKS" subtitle was not yet present.

Workmen's Compensation Board Building
Workmen's Compensation Board Building

The Workmen's Compensation Board Building (later known as 90 Harbour Street) was a five-storey office building in Toronto, Ontario. It was originally home to the Workers Compensation Board of Ontario from 1953 to 1973. It was designed by the province's master architect, George N. William. It was also known as the Old Ontario Provincial Police Headquarters, with the province's police force using the building from 1973 until the early 1990s. The Ontario Provincial Police moved into a new building in 1995 at 777 Memorial Avenue in Orillia. The building was later sold to a film production company, Juxtaproduction, and targeted for use in film shoots. It was used in films such as Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, Exit Wounds and Ararat. The building was sold to private developers and then demolished in the summer of 2011. The City of Toronto had endeavoured to preserve the building as a prime example of the mid-20th century style, but ultimately rescinded its application on the grounds that it had no authority to impose a historical designation on provincial government property. It has been redeveloped as a mixed-use development consisting of a 37-storey office building fronting on York Street (1 York) and two seventy-story residential buildings with retail at the base. Near the site of this building are: Toronto Harbour Commission Building World Trade Centre, Toronto Air Canada Centre Queen's Quay Terminal

One Yonge Street
One Yonge Street

One Yonge Street (previously known as the Toronto Star Building) is a 25-storey office building in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The building served as the headquarters of Torstar and its flagship newspaper, the Toronto Star, from 1971 to 2022. It is 100 metres (330 feet) tall and built in the International style. It was built as a replacement to the Old Toronto Star Building, which was located at 80 King Street West. That building was torn down to make room for First Canadian Place. 1 Yonge Street is located in Queens Quay, and marks the foot of what was Highway 11, mistakenly believed to be "the longest street in the world". The building also housed the printing presses for the Toronto Star's print edition until 1992, when a new press centre was opened in Vaughan, Ontario. The finished newspaper content is sent electronically to the plant where the plates are burnt and the paper is printed and distributed. The editorial content of the newspaper was produced by employees working on the fifth floor.The office space at One Yonge Street is leased out to a variety of other companies, including Pinnacle International, the Liquor Control Board of Ontario, Ontario Cannabis Retail Corporation, RL Solutions, Starbucks, Luminus Financial, a dental office, and the downtown Toronto campus of Collège Boréal.Torstar sold the building and its surrounding property to a private holding company in 2000 for $40 million, but the newspaper continued to occupy several floors of the building on a long-term lease. In December 2021, the Toronto Star announced that it would vacate the building and move its offices to The Well, an office complex that hosts other companies, in 2022. The move was completed in November 2022.
