Oof. All these changes to the OISE building are not doing it any favours. Death by a thousand well-intentioned cuts.
 
Question: Would the concrete on buildings like this have been several shades ‘whiter’ when new? Would a peer washing do anything?

I've been seeing that laundry sign for the better part of forty years when I walk by it or take the subway, I hope someone saves it. I always thought it complemented Dupont Station next door as perfect examples of mid-1970s design. I always expected to see a '76 Cordoba parked outside.
