The REX should be on King Street! (But it isn't.) Regards, J T

Actually, the original building was altered many years after the fire and had numerous feet chopped-off the west end; the windows and cornice being changed, as well as the decorative brickwork immediately below the latter. BTW, the railway Right of Way began by crossing Eastern Avenue, into the...

"...an artifact of a time before smoking became frowned upon and ultra-cheapo disposable lighters became ubiquitous among the vulgar class that still bothered smoking..." adma. As you wantonly blow smoke into my eyes, the only question that I have is, How long have you been a Nanny State Storm...

"I wonder if those are the same cannons out front?????" Koolgreen. With the scarcity of cannon, I would think that Jeffery Dorfman wouldn't have had it any other way. Not only that, and contrary to popular belief, they are the only totally original items from the club's exterior and and also...

"Could that 1905 photo of the RCMI have been printed in reverse or has the recent restoration simply reversed the original layout?" Professor Goldie. I always remember entering on the south side, front, of the building, not in anyway as shown within the "New Pic". Regards, J T

Professor, you are always more than welcome. Kind Regards, J T

"The north and south walls of the Gooderham reused those of the Coffin Block?" the lemur. No. J T

" As can be seen in the old photos below, the Gooderham Building was taller than the building which stood to the west, so it would have to have had its own west wall. Besides that, I don't think the building permit rules were substantially different in the 1890's in that buildings require their...

"Gooderham ordered the Coffin Block to be demolished. The later building also has one more storey. How exactly did that work?" the lemur To make a long story short and as I had just mentioned previously on this thread and on another, a number of years ago, after the Coffin was carried off-in...

"But the coffin block was shorter than the Gooderham. Where were additions made to create the Gooderham?" the lemur The Coffin Block later included an extention, see S/S 1885. J T
