The Great Canadian Heritage Restoration Thread

The_Architect's post in the re-clad thread (quoted below) inspired me to start this thread. Let's see your city's best restorations of heritage buildings. Post pictures of what they looked like when they were built, as they were during the "dark times" and what they look like now.

I'm personally torn because I loved playing there and it was a good part of my life, but the reclad is definitely good for the building and the area. Looks much better.

Bonus, tiny picture, but this is what the building originally looked like. Shame it lost the roof:


I like alfredo sauce personally.
