Royal Oak Inn (376 Dundas East @ Ontario St, 3s) COMPLETE

[Blovertis]

I live in Cabbagetown and the last thing I'd like to see is a beautiful building as such being covered up in EIFS. The architect and designer are working on this and I will post here once I have more information.

Surprise, surprise... they've started putting up the EIFS. Congratulations, your client is about to turn his building into a PoS.

Another triumph for the hard-working folks at Heritage Preservation Services at City Hall......Why the delay in expanding the Cabbagetown Heritage Conservation District?

What's the answer going to be--"I had no option"?

That is downright criminal. Is it relatively easy for someone to remove it in the future without damaging the original facade?

An absolute travesty. How does this still happen in 2013?

Revolting.

Ick. Gross. Barf.

I might expect this in Eddie Francis' Windsor, but in Cabbagetown? Awful.

 

[Torontovibe]

Why would the city even allow them to do that? It's disgusting!

Someone send this thread to the grossly misguided owners of this property. Brutal. Awful.

Taste is one thing, but don't they know they are diminishing the value of their property?

I hope those police are on their way to arrest someone over this.

I reiterate XCJ's question: Is possible to remove this stuff at some point without damaging the brick?

Can't we pass a by-law banning EIFs?
