6 Walmer Road is another abandoned house in the Annex – apparently the owners put in a request to demolish it and the City of Toronto recommended that the house be designated a heritage site.

Anyone know who the owners are/why they won’t sell?

I forgot to add to my comment on Mono Lino Typesetting that I shot a two hour video in the shop in 1984/85. E-mail-standbyed21627@gmail.com

I started work there at Mono Lino as an apprentice in 1966 until they closed their doors in 1985. A lot of good memories of mine in that building. Sad. :(

My employer once approached Wing’s about buying the site. They have zero interest in selling or developing – so get used to it being there for a while.

Ohh no!! I didn’t know Annie died! I didn’t know Leslie died… Wow, Laszlo (Leslie) was old.. even when I worked for them in the late 70’s and early 80’s.. But Annie?? she was only a few years older than I am.. Wat a waste.. She was so nice! Weird maybe… but very very nice.. she had a warm heart! Will alway remember her with fondness…

Maybe Martyniuk won’t do anything with the properties because he is love sick.

Mark,

Very neat—where did you get that information from?

400-408 Bloor West – such a shame. They’d make wonderful apartments. Did you know that Joni Mitchell used to live up there? She lived there when she had that baby she gave up for adoption.
