PART THREE: THE PREMISES - PHOTO Set #3

It was a lucky find that allowed me to make the connection between Bonnar and Harrison -
that they were close business neighbours. Below is a 1917 photograph of the Wellington Hotel
(shown as Building 6 on Mud Map). It was situated on the corner of Currie and Leigh Streets.
On the far-left, one can just make out part of 'Harrison' and 'sewer' at No. 60 Currie Street.

When the Wellington Hotel was demolished in late 1918, Harrison's business would move next door to
No.62. Number 60 would be acquired for the new Delgety Building that still stands to this day.

The big discovery was the finding of a rare photograph. After the demolition of the Wellington Hotel,
but before the construction of Dalgety's, the vacant site revealed Tom Harrison's small factory.

Note that the Julius Cohn Leather Works stood opposite Atkinson & Company's building in Leigh Street.
I have written about The Atkinson Story in another Supplement Story to the main Bloor Court Story.
