Apparently there was a fire at the CN Tower on July 8, 1975 during construction:
Interesting incidental glimpses of the construction of FCP and Royal Bank Plaza in the background of those CN Tower shots. FCP looks as if it was at the point where the darker, mismatched marble was about to be applied - and removed.
They had to remove the tower's upper section of marble cladding when they noticed it was slightly darker than the lower section.
thanks!
boy, that shipment of marble sure was star-crossed. must have had a hex placed on it before it left the port in Carrara....
"La maledizione di Carrara"; (perhaps because of the demolition of the Toronto Star Building, the Glove and Mail Building and the old Bank of Montreal?)
