Your Google-Fu is strong, Grasshopper.

So I was curious as to the significance of this building and did some of my own googling with the following results:

at http://www.internvest.com/properties.htm I found:

Lumsden Building
Toronto, ON
The Lumsden Building is a historical office building located on the northeast corner of Yonge and Adelaide. The ten storey building is completely renovated, offering both prime office and retail space. Located on the Yonge subway line and across the street from the PATH system, the Lumsden building stands in the core of Toronto’s financial district.
Owned and Managed by Internvest


Also at http://www.answers.com/topic/dominion-bridge-company

I discovered that the building was constructed in 1910 with the assistance of (and this should interest our bridge fanatics) the Dominion Bridge Company.


The city of Toronto designated it as a heritage site in 1978 and lists it as being built in 1909, rather than 1910:

http://app.toronto.ca/heritage/browseLetter.do?letter=Y

Lumsden Building, 1909, J.A. MacKenzie at 2-6 Adelaide St. E. -adopted by City Council on June 20, 1973 DESIGNATION BY-LAW PASSED BY CITY COUNCIL on Jan. 16, 1978 (designation plaque - 1979)


And that's about all I could find.

Louisbourg, Cape Breton?

Leto 07-18-2007 07:12 PM

no, not Nova Scotia. - not in the maritimes.

Sticky 07-19-2007 01:54 PM

Gibraltar Point Toronto

Leto 07-20-2007 10:08 AM

Game on Sticky!

- The Gibraltar Point lighthouse is on one of the Toronto Islands. Supposedly, it is haunted.

Sticky 07-21-2007 08:37 PM

hagatha 07-22-2007 05:06 AM

Is it Mont Tremblant?

Sticky 07-22-2007 05:29 PM

It is.
It is the Mont Tremblant village.

hagatha 07-23-2007 04:43 AM

Okay, here's one.

extra points if you can name the street.

Leto 07-24-2007 04:59 AM

Montreal somewhere?

Sticky 07-24-2007 05:45 AM

I am guessing Ontario, probably Ottawa.

Daval 07-24-2007 06:21 AM

is that on madison in toronto off bloor?

Leto 07-24-2007 09:07 AM

hmmm, I've never seen a house like that in Toronto. But it sure does put me in a Montreal state of mind... like it is close to McGill...

Leto 07-24-2007 09:08 AM

deleted: double post

hagatha 07-24-2007 11:50 AM

Yes Montreal. But its on a specific historic spot in that city.

Leto 07-24-2007 01:05 PM

Hotel Dieu ?

Sticky 07-25-2007 05:39 AM

Is it Sherbrooke street?

hagatha 07-25-2007 05:53 AM

You got it Stick. Apparently its part of an historic district called the Golden Square mile.

Sticky 07-25-2007 07:48 AM

I know the area, but I have never heard it termed the Golden Square mile.
(I am not claiming to know anything, however)

OK, I guess this means that I post next.

I have not been to this place, but kick myslelf for not going everytime I pass the signs pointing to this place while driving on the highway.

Leto 07-25-2007 11:40 AM

look at all the Ferraris.

Which highway by the way?

Sticky 07-25-2007 01:30 PM

OK, I will give up the highway.

The busiest highway in Canada

Sticky 07-30-2007 05:28 AM

No one?

OK another hint.
If I did stop there I would probably have to spend the night becuase I would probably not be in a condition to drive after my visit.

fresnelly 07-30-2007 05:34 AM

Hmm. So along the 401 somewhere... Is it a banquet hall?

Daval 07-30-2007 07:30 AM

It looks familiar to me too.....

Sticky 07-30-2007 07:58 AM

It is not a banquet hall.

Another hint: It is west of T.O.

hagatha 07-30-2007 10:37 AM

Is it Hooters?

Daval 07-30-2007 10:41 AM

If it is then i've been totally wrong about the target demographic.

fresnelly 07-30-2007 12:16 PM

Is it some sort of club or other house of debauchery?

Sticky 07-30-2007 02:00 PM

Not hooters
Not a club or house of debauchery

Don't let the Ferraris throw you off, they just stopped for a visit like most of us would wish we would.

Ok, so what you know so far:
- It is of the 401 (or at least there are signs telling you where to get off the 401 to go to this place)
- It is west of T.O.
- Some people leaving this place may not be in condition to drive.

james t kirk 07-30-2007 03:05 PM

Is it a mausoleum?

Sticky 07-30-2007 08:30 PM

Nope not a mosoleum.
