Bob Henderson has spent a lot of time in Yorkville, but walking through the tony shopping district this week, he stopped in his tracks at the sight of an old brick structure that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere. "I've never noticed that building," Mr. Henderson said of the Regency-inspired façade that once housed the original Mount Sinai Hospital. "Now, I'm looking at it and thinking, 'Where did it come from?' " Even long-time residents of the neighbourhood could be forgiven for not having noticed this particular piece of architecture before. These days, however, it's rather hard to miss.
