In the early 1900s, Sussex Street (renamed Sussex Drive in the 1950s), was quite different. First, Sussex Street was not the one way that we know today and cars, but mostly streetcars and horses were circulating in both directions.
The Daly building, that we can see on the left on the photo, was the first tall building of the street. Sussex Street was a commercial street as shops and boutiques were present on both sides of the street which contrasts with the situation nowadays since government buildings (Revenue Agency and the American Ambassy) took over most of the west side of the street.
