Canada Malting Silos, Eireann Quay, Toronto, Ontario, Canada

            This utilitarian but striking building, an early influence on modernist architecture, was built at Bathurst Quay (Eireann Quay) in 1928 to store barley for the Canada Malting Company which, as the name hints, prepared malt for such industries as brewing.
Innovatively constructed in reinforced concrete (previous grain elevators had been wooden and a fire risk), the 15 main silos, each 37 m tall, were supplemented by a 46m-tall extension (nearer the camera) in 1944.
Closed in 1987, the designated heritage building has been seeking a new purpose, whilst gradually deteriorating, since then. Suggestions have included various museums, archive storage or even a mausoleum.
