Spadina & Dundas, northeast corner, 1921
This house was demolished that year and the Standard Theatre took its place.

The picture of the house looks good. Perhaps the foundation was crumbling? That was common on houses built in that era. Factories built in that era were worse, giant wood beamed tinder boxes.

When was this built? 1880s? Must have been less than forty years old when demolished. Short life for a pretty house.

Derek Rubinoff I feel many buildings are older then they say that have been taken down. It makes no sense especially with how massive they are and so much stone. I didnt realize how big that beauty was till I looked at the small people below, wow!

Who built it; who owned it?

The house was an architectural beauty. Replaced by a non inspiring brick box.

A lovely looking House. Don't know about its structural integrity, but it looks amazing.

Some gothy gruesome vibe!
Perhaps new zoning came in and changed the tax rate? Or perhaps a great offer came in for purchase?

A friend whom shall remain nameless played in the little (4 piece band ) for the strippers. One pair of lady wrestlers took a dislike to his comments and the nasty stuff got worse. I also played there as a very young musician and remember a long concrete ramp from the basement to get to the stage. One had to climb up it to get to the stage trap door, just out of view from the audience ( mostly old men ) At the top of the ramp was stored a large metal garbage can. Back to my friend. One night the lady wrestlers really made some nasty on stage remarks towards my buddy, and in a fit of anger he pushed the metal garbage can and down it went making a hell of a noise in the bowls of the Victory during their act. The ladies stormed off the stage. The audience went wild. True story. I won't mention the things that were hanging around in the musicians dressing room, but certainly a unique Toronto venue. The regular sax players were Bill Godard and Dave Hammer, they knew every tune, they alternated weekly to avoid going crazy.

They should've moved the house rather than demo'ing it.

Later the theatre became the Victory Burlesque House.
