Illustration Sunday: 371-373 Queen Street West

By Kevin McBride

2008_07_27_IS_PETERPAN.jpg
Built in 1890, this elegant Victorian building has been home to just three restaurants since 1921. It has been operating as Peter Pan Bistro since changing owners some thirty-two years ago. Though Peter Pan has received good and bad reviews, it offers vintage tin ceilings and a great view into the heart of Queen Street West.
Illustration by Kevin McBride. This is the final installment of Illustration Sunday. Thanks for reading.

    I love old victorian buildings that have the entrances on the wedged corner. They seem more inviting and saves up room on the inside.

    Sorry to see Illustration Sunday go…it was one of my favourite features. Two illustrators gone in one week, that’s rough!

    Back in the 60s and 70s before Queen St. started to change–for the worse, I fear–the Peter Pan was one of the cheapest places to eat.
    Imagine a full hot meal for less than $1.
    Granted the mixed vegetables were rather pale looking and had “institutional” stamped on them,
    but still it was a fair meal.
    Then there was the tall coffee urn and the tableware so old that the patterns and artwork had been scratched off by table knives or eroded off by frequent visits to the sink.
    Then, there was MaryJohn’s at Gerrard and Elizabeth and that’s another cheap eat I hope somone can do a story about.
