Its only been recently that the older buildings in Toronto have been declared Historical Sites, so they are not demolished.

Sometimes I don't know what the history is behind them, and when I search I find gems.<BR/><BR/>Linda, I agree. Perhaps they were in need of too much costly repair. The early 1950s were just after the Great War and money was still tight.Barbara Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00610140328527165017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4476278785366059110.post-25377179477014969042008-11-17T19:22:00.000-05:002008-11-17T19:22:00.000-05:00Love your historical posts, Barbara.
