Toronto is home to several lost observation decks, mothballed one by one over the years as their importance was overshadowed by taller structures. ...
, though the complex in Toronto's Financial District is also home to another lesser-known lookout that has been off-limits to the public for almost a half-century.
The 57-storey tower would only hold onto that title briefly, reigning as the city's tallest structure for just three years before being overshadowed by First Canadian Place in 1975 and the CN Tower a year later. Photographer John Briggs shared a set of almost half-century-old photos captured in the long-lost observation deck with blogTO, which he believes were shot in 1975 with his then-new Nikon camera.Briggs remembers the observation level for its unique quirks, like reflective glass that made for often-confusing views, and mirrored panels above windows.
Reflective windows often made for confusing views, like this one featuring the CN Tower and First Canadian Place - two structures that ended CIBC's reign as the tallest.
