Of the architectural proposals for the harbour lands unveiled this week by the Toronto Waterfront Revitalization Corporation, none is more striking than the scheme for the Canada Malting grain elevators that now stand at the northeastern corner of the bay: The ensemble of great cylindrical bins, built in 1944 by Toronto businessman E. P. Taylor and now derelict, becomes the tall base of a new building constructed in the sky -- a restaurant, perhaps, or a conference centre, or simply a new platform for viewing the sweep of the Lake Ontario shoreline and the glitter of downtown towers.
