Original Toronto Star caption: I Gave Up; says Mrs. Francis Berghofer; owner of this home and last holdout in her area on Sherbourne St. against selling her house to be levelled for the proposed new St. James Town West high-rise apartments. It was no use arguing any longer after all her neighbors had sold; she explains. So; she will move out at end of month. Next place I move to will be the cemetery; she adds with a smile.

Seven-storey brick building with worn, white paint, missing balcony rails and windows. Affixed ...
Desk: Workmen are busy boarding up and taking safety precautions at that 'ghost building' on Bayview Extension we wrote about last week. All the balcony windows from top to bottom have been boarded for the first time anyone can remember. It is the result of our story. Why don't we send a photographer up and take some pics of this being done? Earl McRae
