Several brick workers were doing some finishing touches mainly along the eastern face and some corners.

Lights.....action.......

(lots of activity today as expected...)

A pair of upward pointing angled lights on each corner of the crown...(NE corner)(They weren't there last Friday)

SW corner...

South face along Queen...

Broadview (east face)...

Pretty sure this is a plaque along the east side...(ran my finger quickly along a smooth curved edge behind the covering before the nearby workers noticed)...

Pretty active out back...

Upward pointing lights visible above the workers installing flashing...

That looks like real slate. Nice.

That new lighting is going to make this landmark look great at night!

It looks awesome. This immediate area is really coming along nicely.

Broadview Hotel prepares to strip off its veil: https://www.thestar.com/business/re...iew-hotel-prepares-to-strip-off-its-veil.html

The interior of the 58-room boutique hotel isn't expected to receive guests until the spring, said Les Mallins, founder of Streetcar Developments, the company behind the $24-million project.

But the Broadview Hotel has been such a complex undertaking, he is eager to celebrate the exterior milestone with drinks (OK, it's coffee) for the public, on the house — well, outside the house — about 7 p.m. on Wednesday.

I'm not a mason (or even handy around the house) - but there looks to be a fair bit of missing mortar / cracked masonry, especially around the faces. Is this normal, or something they would look after later? Just seems weird to see the missing mortar after being wrapped up for so long.
Just looking for input from people who know about that stuff.
