I often wish the Pigott Building was about 10 storeys taller than it is. I'd feel the same about it, but it would have stood out more above the mundane stuff like Effort Square and First City Trust.
The store on the first floor of the Balfour building - does that say "Turner Wines"?
Of all the buildings that have been lost downtown over the decades, the old city hall is probably the one I would have most loved to have seen remain standing. She was gone way before my time though.
