All That Remains
I have a feeling that these Corinthian columns and their bit of entablature are all that remains of what was probably a stately old building on Adelaide St, likely a bank. Now they frame the entrance to one of the many glass office towers that one finds all over downtown Toronto. I love the columns and wish I could find some pics of the original building but no luck so far!
That is one beautiful entrance. Love the reflections in the glass, also!
ReplyDeleteSince you live in the downtown area I thought you might want to be there to photograph this event. http://thebulletin.ca/bell-boxes-to-be-painted-with-murals-in-downtown-art-project/
ReplyDeleteI'm glad they saved the columns. They make a wonderful entrance to this modern building.
ReplyDeleteThe building is beautiful, with good reflexes!
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend.
a kiss.
Good that at least they have been retained, they make for a very grand entrance!
ReplyDeleteat least they kept a trace. they did that with an old catholic school here - kept from front wall and corner and added a glass building behind it.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful entrance!
ReplyDeleteYou might have a lot of glass office towers, but you are lucky that the architect and owner of this building put some extra attention to provide a very special entrance. Love the columns.
ReplyDeleteNice looking entrance.
ReplyDeleteHow good that they retained this wonderfully imposing piece. I really like the mix of old and new.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with Sharon.
ReplyDeleteHow sad, I am sure the old building was elegant and graceful, but at least there is a small piece left.
ReplyDeleteAt least they kept the columns!
