Ossington and Queen W

KC and I walked by the the corner of Ossington and Queen Street W on our way home from Trinity Bellwoods Park.

A couple weeks ago, they demolished the building on that to make way for condos.

When I moved to Toronto more than 20 years ago, it was a rooming house with a seedy bar (the flat part in the back).

Here's what it looked like in August 2007.

They started knocking it down in May 2010.

This is what it's supposed to look like when the condos are built.

Quite a difference! It's too bad they couldn't have restored it and put lofts in ... but I imagine it was in really terrible condition.
