It is some years since I was in Toronto, about 14 years ago, I made my way to Massey Hall just to check it out, and was sad to see that face of this historical building had been blighted by a fire escape. If my memory serves me well there are 2 in an A formation. Necessary I know but sad when an old friend is blighted in this way. Some years ago when some architect proposed adding an appendage to the front of The National Gallery in London. Prince Charles was less than impressed and referred to it as "A Monstrous Carbuncle on the face of an old friend." Caused a stir.

PS. Charlene you must have your work cut out deleting all the C**P that some jokers are posting, why do they do it?
