An abandoned building known as the Bayview Ghost once haunted the Toronto skyline for more than twenty years.
To build a structure called the Hampton Park apartments, a 12-storey, two-tower solution to the city's then-emerging housing dilemma.
After blueprints for the enormous building were drawn up, developers applied for a building permit.
But without a building permit, the project sat vacant for several months.
The only reminder of its past is the nearby street Hampton Park Crescent, which shares a name with the since-demolished apartment building.
