Another tidbits about the building:
From a 2010 Record Flash from the Past article
"Schenk’s father, William, was a janitor at the Uniroyal Ltd. textile plant at 84 Margaret Ave., the building just visible on the left side of the photo. Earlier known as the Dominion Rubber Co. textile plant and before that as Canadian Consolidated Felt Co., it was destroyed by fire in the early 1980s."
I couldn't find a picture of the building before it burned down. It's a pity that some of the older urban fabric isn't recreated where possible rather than giving the city bland modern facades. How cool would it be if the Lang Tannery building had a few other similar buildings nearby to recreate the "Busy Berlin" vibe?
