[URBAN NOTE] 1 Spadina Avenue

[rfmcdonald]

I've blogged in the past about 1 Spadina Crescent, a University of Toronto building just north of Spadina and College in downtown Toronto that served as a theological college, a military hospital, and a pharmaceutical research centre, before serving as the home of the university's newspaper and Fine Arts department as well as the Ontario branch of the Eye Bank of Canada, is located directly north of this intersection. Most recently, the building's Gothic design was responsible for the tragic fall of a ghost-hunter.



blogTO's Agatha Barc has written a potted history of the building, complete with pictures from Toronto and university archives.



Go, see.
