Some of the best examples of mid 20th-century rental housing in Toronto were designed by the Estonian-born Canadian architect Uno Prii in the Mid century expressionist style. While many of Uno Prii's most notable works are located in The Annex neighbourhood, there are examples elsewhere in the city, including the 1963-built Americana in Midtown Toronto. Today’s Photo of the Day, submitted to the UrbanToronto Flickr Pool by Vik Pahwa, highlights the base of the Americana building at 141 Erskine Avenue.
