A beautiful structure that has served Toronto's health care needs for almost three-quarters of a century is being reduced to rubble, and haunting photos of the demolition at Michael Garron Hospital (MGH) document the final days of this impressive but ultimately doomed landmark.
Demolition commenced this past summer, and, according to MGH, the teardown of "several outdated wings" will continue into 2026.
Photos of the teardown captured in late September offer what could be one of the final glimpses of this structure still relatively intact.
These views provide one last glimpse of former hospital rooms as they are deleted from existence, one concrete fragment at a time.
The hospital intends to preserve certain elements of the building after demolition.
