This has been bothering me for a bit. Currently, these two facilities are located next to Mel Lastman Square, and have been for about 30 years. But I could swear, before Mel Lastman Square and the office tower were built at the corner of Yonge and Park Home were built, the library and swimming pool were in a low-rise building in the same location. I was a little kid at the time, so I'm not totally certain.
I'm picturing a long circular driveway going in from Yonge, kind of like the one at Vari Hall at York U. I'm picturing a building with peculiar artwork adorning the outside. As I recall, the pieces were sort of large, squarish tiles of different pale colours (orange, purple, green, etc.), and they had what looked sort of like Chinese characters on them, in white. The characters couldn't have been Chinese, but perhaps they were Inuit figures or something. Am I out of my mind, or does someone else remember this too? If anyone has pictures, that would be great. I Googled but came up empty.
