1962 "Metro" Supermarket In Mid 20th Century "Googie" Style
Built 1962 .... Innovative architectural designs, were often used to lure customers into grocery stores in the 1950's & 1960's. Unfortunately, many of these styles were buried under facelifts or destroyed altogether. This supermarket design, is a rare example of surviving "Googie" style, early 1960's grocery store design in Toronto.... Update .... unfortunately, this grocery store was demolished in Feb/March of 2014, glad I got this photo beforehand!
