This post is directed to "My Name" listed below. Please help me with any information you can. We have been searching for years for my Aunt who was last heard from in 1952. We thought she may have died, but through Voters Records found that she lived at 1759 Victoria Park Avenue in 1963. Do you know anyone at all that I could contact that may have lived there that may have known her. Her name was Emma Dudik at the time and she was in Apt. 710.

Do not move here google the address this place is full of criminal frequent break ins, infested with bed bugs and the city just posted the structure is not safe especially in the basement

True Daniela was the best in yonge street. She had the best reputation from all buildings. It was an unprofessional move to take this lady out. We heard they kept her ex mitko, a man who really was sleeping most of the time and taking care of the small kids. Daniela was the one who was running day and night for the business. It is sad to hear 2014 connaught 6000 has a very bad name now because it used to be a family oriented building and now it looks like a scary building to live in.

Just moved in here.. after reading the comments I think I'm going to commit suicide.

Original site was Swift Canadian Co. slaughterhouse and meat packing works. Bought by Canada Packers in the 1970's and upgraded to an edibles refinery in 1986, the plant operated under various names after 1990 - Canamera Foods then finally as Bunge North America until it closed down in 2008 and was demolished in 2009. Interconnecting steam and fat/oils pipes crossed the west side of the site across Gunns Road/Maybank Ave. to the larger main Canada Packers West Toronto slaughter houses and meat packing facilities which were closed in stages starting in 1984 (Harris Abbatoir - west end of site, demolished in stages until 1994) and in 1996 the Gunns plant was finally closed and demolished in 1997 ending Canada Packers (now Maple Leaf Meats) involvement with the site since the early 1900's.

Site was the old General Electric Lansdowne Works which encompassed both sides of Lansdowne Ave. from Dupont up to Davenport. Site was heavily contaminated by PCB's which were used in transformer production at the facility until 1983. GE is forced to own the nuclear pellet facility until around 2030 due to PCB contamination of the site.

what is the name of the sports bar please?

My wife had a chicken Caesar from the restaurant and was served raw chicken the cashier says that is just the way it is. I am sorry Anne raw chicken is not good for business

Overpriced motel.

These buildings were quite old back in 1967 when my parents brought me home from the maternity ward as a newborn to 1 Terraview Heights

Never mind my previous comment. It was Ford's main assembly plant. In 1921 the site was still a largely rural area on the fringe of the city of Toronto when the Danforth streetcar was extended to a new loop at Luttrell Avenue, just west of Victoria Park Avenue. This led to rapid development of the area. Most notably a Ford Motor Company assembly plant was built covering the large site at the southwest corner of Danforth and Victoria Park. The old factory building is now the main building of the mall. The plant was the Canadian site of Ford production of the Model T and Model A. It remained Ford's primary Canadian facility until 1953 when Ford decided to construct the new Oakville Assembly Plant. It then became the first Canadian plant of Nash Motors making cars such as the Nash Rambler and the Nash Canadian Statesman. In 1954 Nash merged with Hudson Motor Car Company to create American Motors and soon after the Danforth assembly plant was closed.[2]

Wasn't this an automotive assembly plant at one time? I seem to recall it being so in the 1940's

Why did it have to be restored? What happened to the original structure?

The real information on Ancona St park is that there is no Ice rink in the winter unless the local residents do it. The city puts up boards and supplies the hose but does not flood the rink. The ball diamond is too small for adult players as you can hit the ball easily into the children's playground. It's a law suit waiting to happen. Also, access to the park is limited as the city, in their grab for cash, has permitted the park to the Associated Hebrew School during school hours and then during the summer for a day camp that is run out of the school essentially blocking out local residents to use of the park during the day! The playground for the children is below average too. The old wood structures (which were great) were torn down and replaced (after several yeas) by a couple of small units. The park is great if you want to kick around the ball or play a small game of baseball but no good for large gatherings. No parking lot or washrooms.

True Daniela was the best. All yonge street missed her a lot. I hope her kids are beside her taking care of her now. Especially her son. She always was taking to us for him.
