North Toronto station

This stately building on Yonge Street in Toronto used to be home to North Toronto railway station. I had to look up this building in Google to verify its history … but its proximity to train tracks and the lovely clock tower pretty much gave away its heritage. It is currently a (very beautiful) liquor store.

Calgary, Alberta, Canada

This old house in Victoria Park continues to await its fate, as the neighbourhood continually redevelops around it.

Hillhurst Block

Very glad to see plaques with historical information pop up on buildings all over the Kensington business district.
And in case you missed it, I wrote about the state of historical preservation in Calgary in my Sun column several weeks ago.
