The old Etobicoke city hall 1957 is very nice. High mod, Indiana limestone. Lovely sunken jungle windows. As you can see from the cornerstone, metro Toronto has been waffling over the Gardiner for a long time. – bei Etobicoke Civic Centre
Etobicoke is the California of Toronto. Look at these breezeways. – bei Etobicoke Civic Centre
The sweet clock tower works on one side, not on the other. It is also a war memorial/ cenotaph. – bei Etobicoke Civic Centre
That mid century thing of rocks cemented together. Still seen at old gas stations and such. Fond. – bei Etobicoke Civic Centre
A defunct fountain. While it is true many politicians from Etobicoke are historically cheap, defunct fountains are common to all Toronto. Built it & they will neglect it. – bei Etobicoke Civic Centre
The old council chamber. Local politics in the round. Lush nooks. Little veranda for mid century cigarettes & whispered discussions of local Bolshevik insurgency.
Very nice details. Sweet â57 blue brick. – bei Etobicoke Civic Centre
Good details here too. Concrete forms. Bays for the lights. The inside is wild, but another time. One building the TDSB doesnât neglect.
Out on the streets. These office / retail buildings continue to come down for housing. Farewell to Flamingoâs.
West Mall apt - look at that top floor, flying roof. – bei West Mall Donuts
