I think I had a crush on the U8TV lofter named David. No, not the gay one.

Oh yeah, that's that long condo complex off Heath/Tichester that overlooks the ravine N of the N entrance to St Clair West station. Cinched that one

That's an easy one. Cawthra and Burnhamthorpe.

I always thought that was the ugliest church in Toronto. It's always a bad move to mix Byzantine Orthodox architecture with PoMo and call it all Catholic.

Except that it was built in, I'd say, the 60s/70s--i.e. long before PoMo. It's more like a suburban big sibling to St Josaphat off Dupont (pictured earlier in this thread)--and as such, might be more comparable to the neo-expressionism of Quebec's "Quiet Revolution" modern Catholic churches by D'Astous, et al. (Or New City Hall, or Uno Prii's apartments, etc.)
Now, if it were a quarter century newer, it might have wound up full-bore faux Byzantine bathos, so be glad it had whatever "contemporary" pretensions...

Since I myself am stumped about the purpose of this structure, I'm gonna post it here. Where/what/why?

It's that old? Wow, I never would have guessed...
I never before saw a Catholic church (even being Ukrainian Catholic - therefore not 'truly' Catholic) look like such a hack job at an Orthodox church; complete with the turret domes..

Okay, know one seems to know ... tell us!
I'm very curious ... it's not west on Lawrence near Bathurst or somewhere in that ruff area?

It's something under construction on the the north side of the 401 in Milton. What is it? Anyone have a clue?

That must be the future Halton Hills Generating Station under construction.

Who ever gets this should get some kind of monetary reward. I'm guessing it's a school.
