Fade to Brick

Came across this interesting link on theCBC website. Can't seem to post a direct link - look for it in the "online features" section, second from the bottom. The article focuses on the stories behind brick-painted adverts found on older industrial buildings in Toronto. Cool music too if you have headphones.

I've been contemplating to incorporate guidelines or policy in a warehouse overlay district to encourage property owners to preserve or restore the turn of the century advertisement. I think there an interesting treasure.
