As for the Eaton's annex the stories from my dad make me think he went back to the days that what is now CityPlace was the Eaton's catalogue warehouse (?). Also pretty sure back in the day at least the annex portion also included retail in the basement.

It was the sale annex ... we used to get taken there on Dec. 23 to buy Christmas presents when we were little, armed with the $2 we'd saved up, or whatever it would have been. You could come out with great gifts for that much. I believe it had replaced the loading area for the horse-drawn delivery vehicles that Eaton's used to have, as late as the 1940s.
