Another Blast From The Past

Came across another great old building, only a few blocks from my new concrete slab.

This is Trinity St. Paul's United Church.

Erected in 1888.

As usual, the attention to detail is tremendous. Even here for the rear chambers.

Even the steps looks to be laid with painstaking care.

But who says we don't care now. So let's take a look at some recent additions.

Look what an excellent job today's artisans did in matching the new entrance with the old.

Mmmm....love that new, poured concrete smell!

Further down, a fine example of Gothic Collegiate. Now part of the U of T.

The stonework around the entrance is quite impressive.

So let's see what modern man has done to enhance this building.

Oh, I see it, just to the bottom left.....

Mmmm....I love the smell of exposed utility connections.

But not all is lost.

Here is the church associated with Trinity College, also part of U of T.

Beautiful and inspiring.

And when was it erected....?

1953?!

That's not old at all.

Not for a building and certainly not for a person.

As you can see, this was an addition to the original, older Trinity College, on the right.

It, too, is also a very impressive piece of 19^th Century architecture.

But that's for another rant post.
