Here’s a view of the original Cleary Auditorium on Riverside Dr W and Ferry St. Although it was universally despised during the time leading up to the renovation, it’s a shame it was altered away from the architect’s vision. It was a pretty good looking mid-century design.
Have a good weekend everyone, see you back here Monday.

Is it just me, or is the slope from Dieppe Gardens to Riverside steeper now than it appears in this photo?
Good eye David. The road alignment was shifted north at the time of the expansion in early nineties. The toe of the slope was not altered to match the change at the top.
Lee's ImperialHouse is visible prior to its renovation which dates this pic before 1975.
