Archives

This is the City of Toronto Archives building which is located just down the hill from Casa Loma on Spadina Rd (just in behind the trees I showed you on Sunday). It was built in 1992 and holds government & non government records as well as over 1 million pics of the city. The building has climate controlled records, an atrium & exhibit space, a theatre, and a research hall. You can look up info on every building in the city. That is the City of Toronto flag flying on the pole.

It's a nice looking piece of architecture Pat, like the touch of the dome on top. Wouldn't it be fabulous to see some of those photos ✨

In all those millions there must be one or two very special photo's. The art is to bring them out.

It is a very unusual building, a mixture of styles. Quite striking.
