Description
The Telegram Building, once home to the "Telegram" newspaper (1876-1971), also known as the "Toronto Evening Telegram", stood at the corner of Bay and Melinda Streets - an intersection that officially closed in 1972. In the 1860s, the Telegram moved to a new building at 444 Front Street, which, after the Telegram went out of business in 1871, became the home to the Globe and Mail.
