As Canada’s largest city, an enormous amount of housing is needed to give room for everyone to have a kitchen, bedroom and living space, so Toronto has become a city of tall skyscrapers. The tall buildings are everywhere; the downtown area is full of them, but even the townships out in the suburbs are building higher and higher.
Today we went out for another walk around the neighbourhood and I noticed that in addition to the growing number of high-rise building there are also lots of beautiful old heritage houses, and many of them are in the shadows of the massive skyscrapers. I started taking pictures of these old houses with the new high-rises behind them.
In some cases the old houses have been able to maintain sone limited city sized gardens and yards around them, but some have been integrated into the new buildings. I even found a couple of cases where the old heritage buildings were completely gutted and just the facade was kept to be built into the new skyscraper.
