Mural #4
"Timeline: Islington Then and Now" by John Kuna, 2006
Located at 4959 Dundas, on the big wall facing west across the parking lot
of the former Islington Post Office (originally the Etobicoke Hydro Building and now Goodwill),
this mural is a continuum showing Dundas Street at three stages in the area's history.
The left side of the mural shows Dunn's Store as it looked in the 1880s.
It was located at 4850 Dundas Street (now the Second Cup) and, at that time,
flowering catalpa trees bordered the south side of the street from Mimico Creek to Cordova.
The cars in the central portion of the mural are from the 1950s.
The right side of the mural shows Islington today
and depicts the shops in the block were the mural is located.
