For kicks, here's a picture I took of it last May. The quality isn't great, I can't find the original since I lost a lot of my media.

Taking it down, writing tracking numbers of all the pieces, and rebuiding it as far as I know.

How far along is the de-construction of the bishop block?

This old well intrigues me. Has a date of construction been established for this? I would not be surprised if it were even older than the Bishop's Block -- just going by its ancient appearance.

^ That well would make a nice water feature... anywhere.
I think that Hong Kong-based Shangri-La could turn a well like this into a Feng Shui pond full of luck-bringing goldfish.

They also have a goldfish's load more money than we do!

Bishop's is almost completely disassembled and Toronto Hydro is on-site removing power lines from the parking lot... so we should some Shang digging soon.

Does anyone have a picture of the graffitti that was on the east side of Bishop's Block? I don't want to get into a graffitti-art debate, but that's how I always recognized Bishop's. Maybe it was deemed historical as well, and some one will be commissioned to re-paint it (j/k). Losing this mural is not as bad as losing the mural on the side of the Old Spaghetti Factory thanks to London on the Esplanade.

One parking lot I'm really excited to see go.

Simcoe and Adelaide.
From the Shangri-La parking lot looking west, the Boutique site/billboard is on the right on the other side of Simcoe.
Looking south with RBC visible in the background.
From Simcoe St. a window looking east towards University Ave.
Old stairs to the second floor and old cast iron pipes.
