They're nothing too special, but these types of brick facades are what bring a lot of the character to Toronto. Love them or hate them.

In addition to that, having decent brickwork is rare these days compared to the cheaper precast. These facades bring a human scale that has been lost in a lot of newer development. Back in the day entrances into buildings being three times the height of any person was kept for rare grand buildings, and now they're on every building. It's nice to keep some buildings designed for people rather than giants.
Amen.

Two non-short people are going to have their knees touching if sitting opposite one another. Seems a bit intimate/crowded to me! Need another 1/2 m there.
