Photo 20130907. The HNR Building (c.1913, 21 Dundas Sq.) has a new and interesting fire escape.
The HNR Building will be restored while a new 39-story mixed-use tower is developed behind it. At one time, the fire escape ended on the roof of a now demolished building whose imprint remains. The lower half of the fire escape was recently added on the building’s east face. Sadly, the demolished building was heritage-designated.

We came upon this old burned out camper trailer sitting in the CPR West Toronto rail yard in the Junction.
This was the last stop on the Junction Urban Exploration Walk. With all the fascinating sights and sounds, we got about two thirds of the way through. Look out next month for Junction Walk Part 2. Thanks Garry for arranging this shot!
