Toronto, Ontario - If the north side of the Hudson Bay Co. store at Queen & Yonge St. looks oddly familiar to you it could be because it stood in for Madison Square Gardens in the recent Russell Crowe film, Cinderella Man. The Hudson's Bay Co, formed in 1670, which once owned 10 per cent of the earth's surface, is the oldest corporation in North America. This building, which dates back to 1895, was originally Simpsons Department Store. It was Acquired by Hudson's Bay Co. in 1978. Photo by Lucy Izon. |
