Old Leaside PO painted a “whitewash” white

The old Postal Station R, now known as 2 Laird Drive or site of the new Upper House Condominium, has been painted a strange whitewash white. The red-brick building is slated for demolition as soon as an application finally emerges from the Ontario Municipal Board. The developer, Knightstone Capital, has approval to build to a height of seven storeys, the top level said to be a mechanical room. So why the white paint job?  Some think the old post office will soon blossom with signs and become a sales and presentation site. It’s our best guess.
