The cornice and brickwork on this building at Dovercourt were recently just refurbished, the embedded night lighting is a really nice touch, a bit of whimsy!

Appreciate the post, but this is the rare case, I'm not sold on this architectural lighting. Very inconsistent w/historically normative choices.
If this were to be lit, I think I'd prefer more subtle up lighting myself.

I would maybe argue from a historically accuracy lens that buildings often used similar lighting during the holiday seasons so it's not totally out of context, though you are right that it was not really used as an all year permanent thing.
Example (Kitchener City Hall 1930)

Old photo dump:
I think this is Rusholme or an adjacent side street, a bit north of College during the autumn
The quirky narrow house at College & Lansdowne
The Mondelez/Cadbury factory on Gladstone, south of College
The church lofts at College & Palmerston

This garage is being converted into a kitchen/café with a large patio in front of it. Taken 11 March.

860 College. A really nice renovation with a one storey addition at the back and fun graffiti! This part of College is like a secret mini Yorkville. Taken 5 May.

Always nice to see Al Runt getting commissions around town.

It seems he's returned from Switzerland for a bit.

So the old garage just north of Da Vina’s on the northeast corner of College and Bathurst is being converted. I think that the forecourt is going to be a big patio. Taken 10 May.

Pretty sure it's EFIS, but the detailing looks alright to me, way nicer than a flat cube.
Also the unit next door now houses an outpost of a popular Colombian restaurant/cafe from Eglinton/Dufferin, after being vacant for a while, retail here is filling in nice.
I have a feeling is would've been brick at one point, but the labour shortages are stalling a lot of small scale projects.
