The old Tower Automotive building, located at 158 Sterling Road, is one of Toronto's
forgotten landmarks, and a
magnet for urban explorers. The site has been
derelict since 2006, so it's full of graffiti, some of which is quite amazing. It is now being redeveloped by Castlepoint Realty Partners, so all that is about to change.
So it's good news that
Martin Reis, a local photojournalist and prolific documenter of street art, just posted a new set of photos from his recent
"authorized visit to this heritage building in transition." The set includes one of my doodles, but I'll leave it up to you to guess which one it is
(a hint: it's not in either of these photos).
A personal fave from the Tower:
Here are a few
other recent photos of the Tower Auto building from
Vic Gedris.
