This is all that remains of a long term care home that has been demolished slowly over the last few months. Unfortunately I think it is being replaced with a condo tower but we shall wait and see. It would be nice if it was a nicer LTC instead.
It is always sad to see a well built old building torn down because a new building will make more money. The residents of the LTC facility were displaced and may have moved somewhere less desirable.
It's a shame that everything old is being demolished. A lot of buildings are being demolished here too! Apparently it's cheaper to demolish than to renovate the old!!

I totally agree. The need for affordable housing is reaching a crisis point.
I would think the long term care housing is really needed.
Have a great day and a happy weekend!

..tall glass buildings seem to have become the thing in Toronto!
I agree. So many are needing places to live.
Seniors, I mean! It is cheaper to demolish. The wiring, plumbing, and materials do age, just like people!
Looks like they are nearly done, I guess building upwards is the thing these days
No public record of what is being built? Pretty much the law in Sweden.
I would love to photograph it before demolition
"Progress" is never ending.
