Yes, they were like wings to the main building. I suspect at one time Eaton's intended to return to something like the original plans for a full buildout but obviously that never happened. The Eaton Centre happened instead, and we know how that worked out.

There was a one-storey extension that continued the Eaton's College St. art deco style along College and provided window display and all-weather access from Bay St.

That's not a bridg. It's a brdige.

I'm happy to leave it as is, named for a guy who renamed himself—for reasons that appear to be lost to history—and brought non-British people to Toronto at a time when it was badly in need of a little cultural diversity. And who are "ethnic people", anyway? We all belong to one or more ethnic...

Excavation hits bottom, crane up. Monday.

In the case of many of our politicians, starched spines would be more useful.

On the nose.

Wow, a two-dumpster job. This project is gathering momentum.

@interchange42, I have tried reducing resolutions without great success but I'm sure your specific suggestions will help me sort this out. Thank you.

Yes, @interchange42, I've read the thread and have sucessfully uploaded quite a few pictures. Recently I've been posting a lot of shots taken in the vertical formal and I haven't liked the results because the full-size pix needed to be scrolled to take them all in. So I resorted to thumbnails...
