Mural Series: #7 Islington, Ontario, 1912

            Located at 4984 Dundas Street West, this Village of Islington mural, titled Islington - The way we were - Part II was painted by John Kuna in 2006. The accompanying plaque for this mural says:
This mural is the companion piece to #5 in the series (they were on opposite walls from each other.)

Designed as a companion piece for the mural on the opposite wall, this mural depicts Islington ca 1912. Together they form a unique historical diorama with the first one looking east and this one looking west along Dundas Street.

This mural shows the old Islington Hotel and drive shed as well as neighbouring shops then located on the north side of Dundas Street at Burnhamthorpe Road. The Islington Burying Grounds are seen in the distance and in the foreground workers are depicted preparing the road to be paved in the ongoing development of Islington as a thriving community.

In 1912 Burnhamthorpe Road was located west of its present location. As shown in the mural, it ran between the Islington Hotel and Clayton's Butcher Shop. The hotel's drive shed stretched across the current intersection which has now been reconfigured to connect Burnhamthorpe Road and Cordova Avenue.
