Saved By The Bell

Another Toronto landmark has been saved from the wrecker's ball. Built in 1870, the clock tower was part of Fire Hall No 3. Demolition crews have been clearing the site for a 38 storey condominium tower. According to heritage retention plans, the clock tower will be seamlessly integrated into the building's facade.

  4. I'd like to see how that is done. You will have to go back when it's finished and get another photo. There sure are a lot of modern skyscrapers behind the tower.

  5. It is good the tower will be saved, but I wonder how it will be incorporated into a 38 story building. The scaffolding seems larger than the tower itself.

  6. Glad that it was saved. It will be interesting to see how it all looks when it is completed.

  7. Wasn't it part of the St Charles Tavern for a bit too, Andy? I'm glad it is being saved.

  9. It looks ok, the clock amid the modern buildings, and it's good that the clock building was saved.

  10. It's interesting to see how the old is integrated into the new. "Seamless" can have so many different meanings.

  11. I'm glad it's being saved-- perhaps not in the way some would want, but I'm grateful for every win, no matter how small.

  12. I can't fathom that tearing something like that down was ever an option. Will be waiting to see the finished construction.
