All the old floor joists have been reclaimed and will be made into furniture by these guys

Though the last line in their FB post is a total eye-roller:

A few weeks ago we walked into Jilly's, a Toronto landmark turned strip club in the 1970's at Queen/Broadview and asked for the site supervisor. We struck a deal for us to acquire and salvage all of the floor joists to make reclaimed wood furniture. After closing a couple years ago we are extremely lucky for Jilly's to be giving us wood again!

Haha. I love corny jokes like that.

The exterior doesn't look a whole lot different from how it looked when Drum shot it in May, but here it is, yesterday:

Some of these photos are part of this front page update.

Thanks for the update! I wonder if the assembly hall on the second floor will be brought back or will it be chopped up into rooms. Would make a great events space.

it's going to be rooms - the development application page has the floorplans here - http://app.toronto.ca/DevelopmentAp...ion=init&folderRsn=3623746&isCofASearch=false

Yesterday afternoon - it also looks like most of the new windows are in as well in the existing openings

Good to see the windows favouring a view of the park to the north. How often do we ignore the landscape in our architecture here? Often! Glad to see it's not the case here.

The glass is reminiscent of the new The Globe And Mail headquarters.

The view today facing southwest....

Looking slick! This corner is going to get interesting.
