There were plans to install a carillon in the tower but it was felt a carillon wouldn’t be historically accurate. Rubbish! The station is now a beer store
I think it’s a liquor store.
….and a liquour store as well. But the LCBO was wise enough to keep a great deal of the interior as it was originally laid out.
It is a beautiful place and they’ve made a nice-sh garden out front. It’s a lovely little neighbourhood for Toronto’s rich and aimless.
LCBO
used to be a Beer Store on the other half from the liquor store,before the LCBO took over the whole building.
I worked at The Beer Store in the late 1980s there.
yes and what an interesting beer store! This is the first beer store in Ontariariario (outside of an RCAF airbase) that I’ve found sells Labatts 100s.
Isn’t that a LCBO store just north of the railway lines (at Summerhill Subway Stn)? edit: spelling.
A carillon would have been fabulous!
Now one of the nicest LCBO stores in the city!
I would say that the carillon was not installed as the sound would upset to Rosedale bluebloods on the north side of the tracks.
don’t you mean the south side ? 😉
Those tracks are CP and the picture is taken looking east from Yonge Street. Rosedale is on the north side of the tracks.
north and south, mostly to the south
Rosedale is on the south side of those tracks. Those North of the tracks like to say they live in Rosedale but thats not very accurate. That’d be Summerhill there, further east is Moore Park
Actually Rosedale’s boundaries consist of the *Canadian Pacific Railway tracks to the north*, Yonge Street to the west, Aylmer Avenue and Rosedale Valley Road to the south and Bayview Avenue to the east. The neighbourhood is *within* the City of Toronto’s Rosedale-Moore Park riding. Hey, but who’s counting 😃 “Bluebloods” live all over Toronto….. and some actually enjoy the sound of bells ringing! 😉
whay do you mean bluebloods?
See Hugh Nugent’s original post, which I was referring to….
blue bloods?
Rosedale isn’t on the north side of the tracks
It’s a copy of the Campanile di San Marco in Venice at about half scale. The fun part is, it’s about the same age as the one in Venice, which fell down in 1902 and had to be rebuilt. The Venetian one was finished in 1912, this one in 1915.
This is now the beautiful Summerhill LCBO
