Spiral staircase in the American Room at Osgoode Hall and Law Society of Ontario.

Spiraling into law.

The spiral staircase in the American Room in Osgoode Hall, probably the nicest library room in the city.

A softly coloured print from the late 1930s depicting a view of downtown Toronto looking northeast from University Avenue and Queen Street West. In the foreground, dark 1930s-era cars travel along Queen Street past the South African War Memorial—a tall column topped by a winged figure, with a base flanked by statues. Behind the monument is the front lawn of Osgoode Hall, ringed by an iron fence and dotted with leafless trees. The building itself, with its classical portico and arched windows, is shown on the left. Further back rises the distinctive clock tower of Old City Hall, with its green copper roof. Tall commercial buildings frame the right side, capturing a mix of architectural styles from Toronto’s early 20th century core. The sky glows in soft yellow and peach tones, lending the image a nostalgic, almost dreamy quality.

View east from Queen St. & University Ave., Toronto, circa 1938
