This advertising poster, shows the Concourse building at 100 Adelaide Street West, that currently is gone. The owners, Oxford Properties, will be replacing it with a 41-story office tower. Apparently, they will be keeping the facade of the first three floors, as well as the archway.

This magnificent archway was created by J.E.H. MacDonald of the legendary Group of Seven. Hopefully, the finished edifice will be just a nice as the original.
