I hope they never get rid of that building in the background. I'm unsure if it's designated a heritage building, but it should be. That's a unique old high rise for this city.

That's the York apartment building.  Dating to the 1920s, I think and indeed unique in K-W.   There was an interesting article about it in the Record a few years ago.  Iirc, the apartments are failry large, with small kitchens.  The building has had a problem with its plaster since it was built (can't remember the details, but the plaster apparently degrades in ways that it shouldn't).

Very small kitchens! Everything else about them is nice. They all have very old electric fireplaces, but they're not hooked up.

These apartments seemed to be filled with more professionals and artists.
