Georgian ( ? ) Apartments, Old West End
One's the Georgian and the other, I believe, is the Collingwood. Sorry, but I wasn't about to dig through the remaining snow and slush to refresh my memory from the tile signs inset into the sidewalks. These are two, u-shaped buildings. The one on the left may be salvageable. ( I repeat, may. ) It's time for a reality check on this one, however. There's almost no realistic hope that it's ever going to be restored. Even remodeling it out of recognition would cost far too much to be feasable in our current situation. The Old West End has few failures in the preservation department. It might be time to see this as one of them and give up.
