Vintage graystone burns on the Main
Fire broke out Monday evening in a vintage graystone building on St‑Laurent near de Maisonneuve. TVA calls it a “bâtiment résidentiel désaffecté de quatre étages” and CityNews calls it a “a four-story abandoned residential building” but it’s not four storeys and it’s got storefronts at street level, although they may have been empty. Here’s the Streetview image.
Another abandoned building, this one on a major street. What is wrong with this picture?

For what it’s worth, I can attest that the building that burned (and that is now a pile of rubble) is slightly down the street. It had aluminum cladding that had once sported a Provisions Ben’s sign, as can be seen in Streetview.

The location is made clearer in the photo from CityNews. Not as bad a loss as I had feared.
