I like to point out buildings like this one: https://www.google.ca/maps/@44.63565...2!8i6656?hl=en
Note the brick around the doorway. I'm guessing this one is mostly or entirely masonry construction. |
You are right! I stumbled upon some photos from the sixties on the Municipal Archives site that show parts of that building and it does appear that it was of masonry construction.
I believe it is on the right in this photo apparently taken from Victoria looking towards Inglis:
And a little bit of it on the right in this shot - can't tell for sure but it almost looks like it has been stuccoed over the brick. You can see the entrance to 5429 Inglis just ahead:
