pretty vacant




Demolition at the corner of Bank Street and Lisgar reveals the back-ends of an old 4-row, an all-brick structure originally surrounded by brick-on-wood houses and storefronts. A battered sign suggests what we can expect to see on the corner at some point in the future.


 The plan below, (adapted from Goad, 1912) shows the original buildings on the west end of the block — pink for brick, yellow for wood. Out-buildings, mostly of wood, are shown in grey.

The anticipated building is to be known as Joyce House, Dreesen Cardinal Architects. View a project gallery here, heritage considerations are discussed here.
