20210104. The modern residential high-rises of St. James Town, the largest high-rise community in Canada. From left to right: The Winnipeg, The Halifax, The Vancouver (240, 260, 280 Wellesley St E).
20200103. Fire Station 313, a modern building with brutalist elements, is home to Pump-Squad 313, also known as The Beasts of Bloor.
20200102. Promenade Gardens (1965), a large three-winged modern building.
20210101. The Kingsview (1960) on the Kingsway, a brutal modern luxury cellular tower.
20201231. Maybe 2021 is the light at the end of the dark tunnel.
20201230. Tudor Brutalism church architecture.
20201229. The ventilation stacks and chambers of Plant Complex 3 Building 36 (1952), a jet engine repair and testing facility at the former de Havilland Aircraft Company campus at Downsview Park.
20201228. Enigma on the Park is certainly an enigma and a place to be cautious if hallucinating.
20201227. Woodworth College Facade.
20201226. 477 Mount Pleasant Road (1960) is quite modern for a mid-century office building.
20201224. Time is up for a mid-century strip mall at Eglinton and Kennedy as construction continues on the Crosstown right out front.
20201223. The entirely fenced in pedestrian bridge over the GO Transit and Scarborough Rapid Transit lines.
20201222. The townhouses at 1031 Midland Avenue where the complex is far more appealing than the individual homes.
20201221. The Symes Incinerator sure has changed over the last seven years (2020 vs 2013).
20201220. Inside the facade of the 1942 Administrative Office of the Drug Trading Company and soon to be EQ Bank Tower.
20201219. The aptly named Outllook Manor at 55 Outlook Ave and Jane St sits at the top of the Black Creek Valley.

20201216. Remembering the old GO Transit concourse at Union Station (1979) and one of its nicest design elements – the doors.
20201215. The vacant Toronto Hydro transformer substation at 281 Cherry Street is a modest example of Edwardian Classical styling from 1928.
20201214. St Philip Neri Catholic Church (1959) with its four oddly placed barrel shapes out front with stucco covered brick. Might they be confessionals?
20201213. After 17 years of operation, the old $9 000 000 GO Bus Terminal at 141 Bay Street is being demolished.
20201209. With mobile gantry cranes parked and no girders to be seen, it seems that Phase 1 of the Gardiner Expressway Rehabilitation from Jarvis to Cherry Streets is just about done.
20201207. The new Union Station bus terminal is now open but there isn’t much to see. It’s as bland as the new GO Train concourse and the boarding area is not visible to the public.
