Dundas Street West

My niece and her husband recently told me about a very well-preserved "Ghost Sign" that could be seen nearby if you travelled the West Toronto Rail Path.




They know that I search out these old fading advertisements, that have been painted on buildings, so this one was especially interesting.

With a general idea where to look, I rode the subway to Dundas West station and walked north along Dundas Street.

I passed a building at number 2466 that had an old painted sign on its southern end.





 As I passed this structure, I noticed that there was a more modern sign on the front, and that there were many tenants living in this old warehouse






Just north of here is a steel pedestrian bridge over the railway tracks.

After climbing the stairs and walking along the bridge, I could see the other Ghost Sign on the north side of this warehouse.





 Too bad about all the graffitti!
