| Keywords: Construction in Downtown Toronto.jpg The building just behind the backhoe is one of my favourites It needs a wikipedia article It was built over one hundred years ago as a hotel It also I believe served as a school There was a diner on the main floor with 1950s style fittings I always meant to go in there About five years ago almost all the industrial buildings east of here were torn down to prepare for a 20 000 unit housing development I guess that stripped the diner of customers and it closed Up close the red bricks of many of these old buildings are heavily weathered Painted bricks look odd and old fashioned But apparently many older bricks weren't robust enough to withstand weathering and actually need to be painted There are some other downtown building where the owner obviously hired someone to sandblast the paint off and ended up with a horror show where flecks of paint remained but an inch of brick had been stripped away http //www flickr com/photos/55289779 N00/7547229324/ Construction in Downtown Toronto jpg 2012-07-10 08 40 http //www flickr com/people/55289779 N00 booledozer https //ticket wikimedia org/otrs/index pl Action AgentTicketZoom TicketNumber Ticket 2012092210003274 OTRS ticket 2012092210003274 cc-by-sa-2 0 booledozer http //flickr com/photos/55289779 N00/7547229324 2012-07-23 20 50 21 cc-by-sa-2 0 Photographs by Geo Swan Taken with Canon PowerShot A2000 IS Construction in Toronto Cherry Street Hotel | ||||
