Old Mill Towers is a international style landmark rental tower on the Humber River on the eastern edge of Etobicoke owned an operated by Princess Management. Designed by the late Raymond Mandel, the tower's structural concrete skin is showing its age. We have made two earlier visits, the first time to lament the unavoidable loss of the textured south wall, the second to witness the replacement of the windows, and now we visit to focus on the state of the concrete after 45 years of wear, and the installation of the new Exterior Insulation Finishing System, or EIFS.
So, what is this?

We were guided through the busy construction site by Goran Skara, Project Superintendent, who helped fill in the blanks on this fast-advancing but still very raw building complex.

Ryerson University is in the midst of a growth spurt that has brought and will continue to bring new and renovated buildings to the school's cramped downtown campus. The most significant project currently under construction is the redesign of the School of Image Arts building on the southwest corner of Bond and Gould Streets. The buff-coloured brick building is being reclad in fritted glass, expanded, and opened up to the streets, and to Lake Devo on its west. Most notably the building will be home to a new 1,860 square metre gallery for Ryerson's Black Star Historical Black & White Photography Collection, as well as the collections of the School's Mira Godard Study Centre.

All parts of Toronto are defined by a neighbourhood, some more aptly named than others. Neighbourhood boundaries can be distinct, or can be blurry and overlap. Some places may be a part of more than one neighbourhood. In the blurry edges of these places lies an opportunity for neighbourhood borders to change and new local communities to emerge.
