Yeah The Burritt building is nice and complete with it's neon sign. I'm quite disappointed to see the building at Victoria diversion go too. It's no more than 10 years newer, the Burritt building being constructed in 1954 and the one on Victoria in 1963. The building on Victoria has great massing for an industrial/commercial building from the 60's with a curving facade matching the curve of Victoria Dr. complete with light blue mosaic tiles at street level.
