Classy Entrance
This is the north facade along Bloor St W of the Lillian Massey building which was built from 1908 to 1912 as the Household Sciences building of U of Toronto. The architect was George Martell Miller and the building has been given heritage protection. There is no longer a Household Sciences program at the university and most of the building is now used for other faculty offices but this northerly section has been rented out to a clothing store and although the outside remains original the interior has been renovated a lot. I'll show you its neighbour across the road tomorrow.
Happy St Patrick's Day to everyone!
That is a fabulous looking building. It looks like school buildings used to look.
ReplyDeleteStrange to imagine such a stately building as a clothing store Pat, we do the same here ✨

ReplyDeleteA clothing store? That's a surprise. It's a classically beautiful building.
ReplyDeleteIn those earlier days of architecture they knew how to make an impression. Thats now a bit disappeared I think.
