By the mid 1920s the harbour was being filled in as part of the building boom in downtown Toronto and the shoreline became further and further from the building.

Today, about 300 meters from the lake, completely landlocked and in danger of drowning in the condo developments, it is still an attractive and impressive building.

Fascinating series of photos, especially of the WWI German U-boat. Any idea what became of it? Who was the building's architect?
