Looking west towards the corner of Bay and Adelaide. They still have the remnants of an old basement to demolish.

Looking west towards Bay.

A relic uncovered.

What's that...thing in the last picture?

Looks like a boiler -- you can see the rows of tubes attached to the end plate.

Have they reached bottom already? It looks like they're removing the ramp.

It's cool to wonder just how many old artifacts and basements are probably still buried under parking lots. Excavation uncovers many lost remnants of our past.

Agreed. I remember walking by the MLS site during excavation and seeing wooden docks that were buried when the lake was filled in. I didn't know what they were, but thanks to a UT member they filled me in. That's one thing I love about this forum, all they combined knowledge of all the members.

wonder if they'll uncover any gruesome remains of some unsolved murder case from 40 years ago... been watching too much csi.

Does anyone know the building that occupied this site?

Woolworth's. It was the central demolished-landmark idee fixe of John Martins-Manteiga + Gene Threndyle's "Clearcut" book a decade ago...

You saw those Ivana Trump wedding pictures too, did you?

That boiler looks a little small for a 57 storey tower!

This might be too far back (1940's) but....

It could be that.

I have a sudden hankering to stop by the Ticker Tape Coffee Shop and Soda Bar.

Born too late...
