Near the sidewalk on the left side of this building at 126 Pape Avenue, on the west side of the street, can be seen this 2016 Heritage Toronto plaque. Here's what it says:

Designed by the Office of the City Architect under the management of Robert McCallum, this Edwardian Classical-style building was constructed as Police Station No. 8 serving the Riverdale neighbourhood. As part of their first-aid duties, the police operated a motor ambulance out of this building from 1929 to 1933. In 1973, the police station was closed and the building was converted to an ambulance station with separate space for community services.

My grandfather was a police officer at this location from about 1910 till WW2 (he was reinstated during the war years after retiring). Would anyone have photos or documents from that period? Thanking you in advance,
