The window has a striking view.
From the ninth floor stairwell overlooking the neighbouring counterparts, more red bricks, the ones that formerly built the city, still stand as a living testament to another place in time.
Wedged between an old age home and an apartment building, the tower can be seen in the distance. That’s the compass that directs the city movement. The tower that reached new heights.
The view encapsulates a snapshot of Old Toronto and the renaissance of the later twentieth century. Before the glass construction of the new millennium, those red bricks laid the groundwork for a city about to boom. Those red bricks observed the transformation from a safe distance until their time comes too.
This window is a portal, a screenshot of history. Beholding remnants of Hog Town clinging to The Six. Just like that tower, reflecting off the neighbouring glass structures, it captures a moment in time. The view is an apparition of days gone.
The paint peels off the window framing as the corrosion fans out like mitosis. The view is phenomenal while it lasts.
