It is an interesting "house" atop that N/E King & Yonge building, and all those exterior fire escape stairs!

Yes, I immediately noticed that long, long, long fire escape too.
Could the building have once been a hotel?

"Could the building have once been a hotel?"
QUOTE Prof Goldie.
I don't know at this time, but doubt it: (on the way to the Junk Show) will look into this later.
BTW, the property used to be managed for many years by Tankoos-Yarman. I believe that
the Yarman "kid" is still around but not involved with the building any longer.

Beautiful shot, tomms! You're just about the only person who can restore my faith in the beauty of Toronto whenever we receive a blow from someone like Joan Didion.
Also, does anyone know the vintage of that white building across the street? Is it old to begin with?
