I jumped over that wall many a time to go play frisbee in that park. Precious memories...

 

[deerparker]

Maybe we should create a Wall District, so we can preserve all the old walls that get torn down...

Really they should have incorporated the wall into any condo design to preserve the key architectural features.

i suppose they could move a portion of it to guildwood...

50 St. Joseph Street

I know there is a thread for this somewhere but I cannot for the life of me find it...

Looks like they may be building a sales centre on the site...?

 

[Canuck]

Yup, merged.

I wouldnt mind getting some of these old bricks restoring them and finding some place in the old house to install them.i wonder what the deal is?

If they're just loading them into waste containers, then they probably not reusing them. You could drive up with a pick up truck sometime and load them up. You'll be recycling and they'll spend less on disposal.

Dumpster diving! Woohoo!

 

[ProjectEnd]

/\ Watch out with that, it doesn't work for everybody...

 

[junctionist]

Some people dumpster dive as a hobby and describe what they found on the internet.

But in this case there most likely isn't any diving involved.

A wall of condos on the east side of Bay, and an old stone wall on the west side...to me, that wall said "welcome to U of T" as much as anything else, particularly since it led one through the gate into Victoria College, possibly the most attractive spot on the whole campus.

 

[Urban Shocker]

To most people, though, walls say: "keep out, private property". And this one did the job nicely.

height plz?

 

[confusion]

Height...

See Post #321 of http://urbantoronto.ca/showthread.php?t=660&page=22

It lists both towers.

While the Bay wall might have been more or less expendable, I'm a little surprised they dismantled the St. Mary wall as well, esp. as it so defined the approach to Vic from the E--it really paints the condo as that dreaded unwelcome incursion onto university property, unless they're planning some kind of vague resurrection of said wall...

The Wall

For what it is worth, the bricks on the wall were kept by the Church

 

[ProjectEnd]

I saw that. One of them is making a very nice bookend in my room.
