Here's a TTC bus maintenance garage from June 1928 located on Howard Parkjust east of Roncesvalles. Howard Park is named after John Howard who "donated"
High Park to the city in 1873
.
The same building today. Now surrounded by condos andbroken down cars. This entire block from Roncesvalles to Dundas is scheduled to fall in the next year for another massive condo complex.

Hey Greg
ReplyDeleteFurther east along Howard Park Ave. at #1 is a interesting building - white with red trim.
Was a buddhist temple . . . now ?
I think it was Daniel Lanois' new studio, tho' I've heard a rumour he shut that down because of streetcar noise. Don't quote me on that, though...
ReplyDeleteI read a article about him in the studio.
ReplyDeleteHope he didn't close it down.
You're both right. It was a Buddhist temple for years and Daniel Lanois did buy it. I know the guy that was doing the reno on it and went to visit a couple of times.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't heard that he'd shut it down but you never know.
