John Baird has never looked so good, in my opinion.

I give you The Strathcona Hotel on York Street. It's covered in beige and brown aluminium siding. Does anybody know if there is a brick or limestone building hiding under all that crap?

I can't find any history on the site 60 York Street.
It's not much more than a guess, but for some reason I'm thinking that it was buff or gold-coloured brick with a stone facade that it lost when the building was expanded. For many years it was mostly covered in aluminum siding, was it not?
As for the Carriage House, can you believe that was a recent reno they actually paid for. That crown thing was added on and so was the fake stone at the bottom. It used to just be all white. If you ask me they should have spent the money updating the interior lobby and restaurant instead.
