9 h. ago What the Toronto Eaton Centre looked like when it was under construction

The CF Toronto Eaton Centre might be the place where you now shop for holiday gifts, back-to-school sales, and vacation outfits, but what many people don't know is the complex history behind its construction. Before it became Canada's busiest mall, the Eaton Centre was actually the focus of contentious public debates, major architectural innovation and a dramatic transformation of downtown Toronto's streetscape in the 1970s. The shopping centre occupies land once owned almost entirely by the Eaton's department chain, which had revolutionized the Canadian retail industry after its founding by Timothy Eaton in the 19th century. View of the Eaton Centre construction in 1975.
