That building, now long gone, was located directly across from Massey Hall. The Hyslop family had been in bicycle manufacturing since 1894, moving to the pictured location circa 1907-1908, where it remained until going out of business circa 1929-1930, though bicycle manufactured had ceased in 1927. Given the timing, the company may have been a victim of the stock market crash, in which case the family suffered two major blows in just over a decade.
Thanks Tmar. That location at Victoria and Shuter is around the corner from my son's school. We sometimes have Sunday brunch at the Fran's Diner now on that spot and I think of Hyslop bikes over my eggs benny.
Fantastic photo Brian
