.... 13 buildings, 154 photos, two battery packs ....
The Elephant and Castle - Yonge and Gerrard
.. photo of a photo of the original banking floor ..
Native Child and Family Services of Toronto
Church of the Holy Trinity
..the banking hall is now a conference centre ..
.. the vault is now a private dining room ..
.. the Chairman's boardroom is now a conference and meeting room ...
Commerce Court North
(difficult to tell from the next two photos, but these panels are part of the
brass engravings on the elevator doors)
.... then I burned out my second battery pack!!!!
.. the Arts and Letters Club and Old City Hall didn't permit any indoor photography (buildings 7 and 8)
.... I didn't have to darken the door steps of the Mattamy Athletics Centre and the Ryerson Image Centre (buildings 9 and 10)
... Massey Tower Presentation Centre - 197 Yonge Street was really just a condo sales centre masquerading as an Open Doors venue (building 11)
... and the line-ups at the CityTV and Omni Television Studios and the Dineen Building (140 Yonge Street) were too long! (buildings 12 and 13)
.. so everyone count their lucky stars!
And then run for the hills, 'cause I picked up the southern Ontario Open Doors schedule - 42 towns and cities in all !!!!
