Doors Open At The Munk School Of Global Affairs
I showed you the front entrance of this beautifully restored building in December (here) and luckily the building was part of the Doors Open Toronto event of a couple of weekends ago. This is the approach to the rear entrance of the building showing the tower which originally had a dome housing a telescope for the Meteorological Service of Canada but the dome was removed in 1934 and installed at another location on the U of Toronto campus. I'll show you some of the restored and modernized interior over the next few days.

P.S. I have fixed the link to the original shot.
It has a definite lighthouse feel to it Pat, which makes it even more appealing to me :)
ReplyDeleteI just love the concept of Open Doors, we are seeing such great spaces through your eyes.
ReplyDeleteI love towers in old buidings. It's beuatifully restored!
ReplyDeletewell, that explains the castle-like feature. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat looking brickwork, is it possible to stand where the dome once stood? Would make a great vantage point if you could!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful with the round structure.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful building...love all that stone. But the tower is absolutely magnificent. I'll be looking forward to seeing some interior shots.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful building; nice restoration!
