Andy Brooks

You're in the signs and storefronts gallery. Welcome!


This portfolio is dedicated to historical storefronts and signs in Toronto. In this gallery, photographer Andy Brooks reveals his passion for documenting historic buildings in Toronto, whether they're already well known, simply overlooked, or in danger of being lost for good. Here you can experience a sampling of Andy's detailed, richly textured work, whether you're thinking of ordering one of his black and white prints of old Toronto or you're stopping by out of simple curiosity.

Andy's always busy with a new project, so think of this gallery as a work in progress. While old buildings on Queen West are currently a big part of the picture, the geographical reach extends well beyond and the gallery is always expanding to include signs and storefronts with character from around the city. And if you want to make some of Andy's work your own, you can find more information here.
