One of the very popular photos from the mid-level escalator down on Gage Street. It shows two interesting items:

The construction site in the back has meanwhile turned into a new high-rise building.

The houses behind the one with the 7-eleven store (at the junction of Cochrane and Gage Streets, still there today) are houses which belong to Gutzlaff Street (only the ones visible at Gage Street). Gutzlaff Street crosses Gage Street just in front of the building "Gage Street Market Lofts". All the houses mentioned have been demolished later for a new building.
