Thank god for the change from all the glass. This will age well, unlike all the glass .

Pure Spirit has only been up for a few years. Wait till it's modern feel is gone and it's just another glass apartment. The distillary is supposed to be our only authentic "old Toronto" area like MTL or Que City and we're allowing these short term appealing glass towers to kill the vibe of the era.

Awesome remake. Sweet back drop

is it just me or does the Clear Spirit not at all compliment the other surrounding buildings in the distillary? Sure it's gonna look modern and nice for the first few 10 years or so. but what about after that? It's gonna look like the same eye sore apartment building that the Old Mill has to...

Its looking great, especailly compared to the checker board look it had only a few years back when they were forced to replace various sections of the old white marble I really like the new black in the corners and once it's completed it should look as good as it did when first built in the...

yea, but for how long will it stay?

i can understand them tearing down the exisiting building on the SW corner of Front and Church as it was boring and really didn't represent the area well but not the building south of that with all the ivy where the Keg was. that should of stayed. nevertheless this buidling is a hell of alot...

Demolition by neglect! Let's keep the silos at least, second last in TO

depends on what will sell the best once occupancy kicks in as i would like to buy pre-construction and then turn it over.

i am looking for the exact same info or advice.

A major shipping hub it was at this time. Think of how it will look 60 years from now and then look back at how it was today. Something tells me all those glass condos are gonna seriously look run downed or torn downed at that point.

Notice how the east extension on the Royal York doesn't have the same amount of coal debris as the older part, as this extension was constructed in the 60's when the trains were changing to electric. The older part of the building was eventually sand blasted and cleaned.

Excellent photos, i like lookin back on this era, reminds me of the way i saw the city as i kid. The last one is my fav, look how "the new" Commerce Crt dominates, now it just baried in other skyscappers. Thanks for posting
