I’ll get you some shots from John street later today!

I'm always surprised how shallow foundations are downtown, but then I remember the CN tower doesn't even go 7 metres below the ground

Very true. Toronto's downtown is lucky that the bedrock is so close to the surface so it is easy to attach too.

It's interesting to see the second old advertisement on the historical neighbouring building. I hope that both adverts can somehow be preserved.

I didn't even notice the one at the back until you mentioned it. Can't read it though.

There might be an image of the building‘s ads on the City of Toronto’s digital archives

I don't see what difference it makes, once this building goes up you'll never see it.
