Happy to see the Lych Gate restoration now finished at the church, it having been fenced off for some time. The story behind the Lych Gate is quite interesting, apparently it was originally built using recycled C16/C17 timbers including the posts of a four-poster bed and two sections of balustrade. There was a certain amount of decay but C19 timbers held everything together.

I found these stained glass doors in my basement but had no place to use them indoors.They add a nice touch here.

Headed off Sunday morning under a backdrop of ominously dark clouds. My goal was an abandoned Victorian house in a nearby town that was slated for demolition. As I rolled up on the location I was disappointed to find only dirt and some stones where the house once stood. Hate missed opportunities like this, particularly with period architecture. There's such a finality to the demolition of historic houses. Once gone, they are never rebuilt. New construction may take their place, but it's never the same.
Dismayed, I drove on a short distance and was shocked to find this old Italianate style house. I had stopped to photograph it in 2014, and was very surprised to find it still standing. On my first visit, the place was vacant but hadn't been empty for all that long. It was still intact anyway, sealed from the weather and still connected to the power grid. But that was then. Now the place is wide open as the doors and most of the windows have been removed. This is not the the result of vandalism. Rather the house has been systematically stripped of its parts; a veritable harvest of architectural salvage. I didn't enter, but from what I could tell, the interior woodwork had also been removed. I also noticed the decorative brackets beneath the eaves had been removed, pulled out like bad teeth. I initially decided not to even bother photographing the place, but the memory of what it once looked like, coupled with the killer clouds, compelled me to pull over and get the photo. So much atmosphere here, and such a bleak location for a house, just a few yards from a noisy highway. Must have been a difficult place in which to live. I always wonder about things like that at places that make me feel uncomfortable even after just a few minutes. How on earth did people adapt to living their lives here?
As I drove off I thought about how the universe had provided me with a backup plan even when my primary mission failed. Always seems to pay off when I head out with the camera. I can never predict the outcome, but something good always seems to happen.
Here's a link that shows the condition of the house in 2014:

The Guild Park and Gardens is full of Toronto Architectural Salvage. Some buildings came down in the Great fire, others torn down. A lovely stroll with most interesting pieces.

From inside one of my favorite* shops inside the Distillery District in Toronto. Lots of cool vintage home goods bits and pieces as well as architectural salvage finds. If I'd have had more room in my car, I might have been in a lot of trouble.
*Note: favorite shop that didn't involve chocolate, gelato, or caffeinated goodness.
#NewArrivals! These just in - amazing metal frame and chicken wire glass freight elevator doors come complete with tracks so your door installer can bring them back to life again.

I have been dropping by the Forks Road Pottery building in Grimsby, Ontario for many years. Although the name would seem to imply what the business does, it fails to convey their secondary line of business which encompasses antique and architectural salvage sales. The screen door and accompanying shutter seen here were sitting out on the porch when I came by and seemed (with appropriate in-camera framing) to offer a suitable addition to my rectangles images series. - JW

When I was very little (ages 2 to 5) our family lived in Guildwood. I used to call the Guild Inn The Castle, because it had impressive gates, and was always a signal that we were almost home.
The Guild Inn, or simply The Guild was a historic hotel in the Guildwood neighbourhood of Scarborough, Ontario and was once an artists colony. The surrounding Guild Park and Gardens is notable for a sculpture garden consisting of the rescued facades and ruins of various demolished downtown Toronto buildings.
The property was known as Ranelagh Park, owned by Colonel Harold Bickford who built Bickford House, a 33-room, Arts and Crafts-style manor house on the property in 1914. The building has been through many uses and owners including the Roman Catholic Church's Foreign Mission Society, renamed the China Mission College, family mansion, artists colony, Women's Royal Naval Service, a hospital for the treatment of nervous disorders in military personnel and hotel.
