Don't Make 'em Like They Used To....

Out for a stroll in a new neighbourhood and came across a very interesting building.

Now what could this be?

A private estate home?

A school?

Church?

Nope......
A Toronto Hydro substation.

A public utility building!

A recent one....?

Ha. Built in 1930.

Attention to detail is outstanding.

Even the "garage door" side for their maintenance trucks looks amazing.

Oh, and today's civic buildings...?

Here's another Hydro building.

Circa 1970.

You're welcome.

Well, at least it's not just a metal box.
