Bay Street: 1904 Fire

April 24, 1904
The Great fire of 1904 left most of the downtown core in ruins. Bay Street up to Queen street burned to the ground, as seena few days after the fire.

Over the years, Bay Street has been able to rebuild itself into an economical engine, not only for the city but perhaps for the country as well. What was once a pile of ash and rubble is now the heart of the country. It could be labeled "Canada's Wall Street" because the country's top finacial instutions house their headquaters around this street.
