Description
English: View of King Street, Toronto's main thoroughfare during much of the nineteenth century, looking east from Toronto Street.

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.

Thomas Young, the artist, was a well-known Toronto architect.
