Imperial Oil Limestone Warehouse Views from 1962 to Present

1962 - Queen's University Archives

While blogging John Woolhead's 1976 view of the Imperial Oil limestone warehouse at the foot of North Street, it was apparent that I had a range of views of this unique structure. I've added them to this post with appropriate photo credit to those who've captured these images in the era before my own photos. The warehouse is currently being repurposed to living space by ABNA Investmenets Ltd.
