Bay and Adelaide in 1910

its changed a little bit!
its hard to believe Toronto ever looked like that...

Wow. I's obvious now where TLS got its inspiration!

Walked by the site this afternoon and I love it! It looks small in all of the pictures, but in person this thing is a beast.

you need to get across to where that scaffolding (stairs) is to get a clearer view!

It is nice to see the shape of the historic facade coming back to the streetscape. It shouldn't be too long until the glass paneling comes for the rest of the first couple floors.

This building is coming along quickly. It looks like they are raising the forms again today, and the construction elevator now reaches the first elevator cut-off.

The window spaces on the old facade look like they actually line up with the floors of the new tower. I guess they're adding some extra bricks to make it line up that way.

Those protrusions must be platforms for receiving materials via crane on the covered up floors...

...but I'd vote to keep them. Three stepped and oddly placed balconies would go a long way to giving this building some character.
