  1. Yes I've made map: I researched the area and took the photos which are posted here, took an image from Google Maps and added all the dots and numbers to indicate where exactly were those photos taken . There's still almost half of them to post.

    Thanks for your interest.

  2. I think number 19 is the Canada Malt Plant. It's amazing that this building is still standing. There was a fire there a year or so ago. It is a building of some interest for our heritage, with, for example, a specific silo design using tiles (not poured concrete). There are a few websites which show the inside of this building, but as far as I know, it's been re-boarded up and is now very difficult to obtain access (even if you wanted to: it is apparently very dangerous inside, with no maintenance or repair in some decades).
    Thanks for the site, I enjoy reading it. Cheers...
