Few reminders of Toronto's industrial economy remain within the city. These empty husks are looked at everyday, but rarely seen. Simultaneously ignored and reviled. But the neglect is temporary—only time stands in the way of reclamation, either by developers or nature and time.

Ghosts of Toronto Past examines the remnants of Toronto's architectural history to document the importance these constructs once served, to contemplate urban transience, and to question progress.

There is an unexpected beauty in the dereliction, if one’s gaze can be focused. There is hope of new purpose, if the structures can be restored. And there is intimacy in the emptiness, if their former grandeur can be recalled.
