 * Symbol question.svg Looking good length and datewise. Hook fact is referenced.  As sources are offline, AGF for paraphrasing. Article could cover a bit more modern history, is there anything on the building post 1940s?  I think the accessdates can be stripped out - they're not necessary for news articles in a static archive. Otherwise, a decent little article.  The Interior  (Talk) 02:55, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
 * I've done a bit more. The articles are available through Pages of the Past, but that requires a subscription via a GTA-area library membership. (Vancouver library does have a subscription to "Globe and Mail - Canada's Heritage from 1844", as does my home library system in Brampton, but I haven't tapped that resource yet.) Anyway, I've posted up until the closure. Strangely, references to the building become scarce in the last few years, there's nothing on the demolition. --  Zanimum (talk) 01:49, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh, and I'll strip out the accessdates tomorrow, when I have a chance. It's just second nature to hit that button in the automatic template generator thing. --  Zanimum (talk) 01:52, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Thanks for filling out the later years a bit, reads better now. Ready to go. I'll try to take a look at our Globe archive if I have time before this runs, see if they covered the demolition at all. The Interior  (Talk) 18:51, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
