The Drake Hotel on Queen Street West in Toronto Ontario Canada near Parkdale was opened in 1890 as Small’s Hotel. At the time the area was a major Canadian Pacific Railway hub near what was then one of the wealthiest neighbourhoods in the city.In 1949 the hotel was acquired by new owners who expanded the building and renamed it the Drake. The hotel eventually fell on hard times along with its neighbourhood.
