The Boathouse
#62
There are generally three ways to add an addition to a building:
1. Make it look the same so you can't really tell the difference (eg Toronto's Royal York Hotel was built in two parts)
2. Make it look different (eg Toronto's ROM and the Crystal)
3. Make it a hybrid (eg The Seagram Barrelhouse and the Seagram Museum addition beside it)

I suspect that the Heritage Committee got involved because the structure is in Victoria Park and/or the Victoria Park Heritage District.


In an interesting side note, the existing boathouse, while first built in 1929, received its current roof profile in 1967 following a fire that gutted the second floor.  rych mills, in his "Flash from the Past" column, described the current roof as, "a quite hideous '60s-style roof"  I would wonder whether the new operating group could pitch adding the second story back to add a private dining room(s) and/or green room for bands??  But it might require an accessible lift. Perhaps the City could go splits on that cost?
