Further to my
previous post, as of Aug.11, 2010, the demolition along
Colborne St. has claimed:
-#105
Colborne St., (which had stood next to the right of the Cafe
Linh)
and
-#107-109
Colborne St., with the 'Cafe
Linh' sign. The buildings at both above addresses were built ca. 1870 by
Arunah Huntington.
below: Aug.11, 2010 - the Cafe
Linh building under demolition, the front sign and the rear portion are still intact, but the front upper brick facade is mostly gone, as is the center of the structure.

above: Aug.11, 2010 - same view, the rear of the Cafe
Linh building is gone; only the front sign and a bit of the brick wall and some window frames remain above.
below: Aug.11, 2010 - closer last view of what little remains of Cafe
Linh's front facade; it was demolished several minutes later.
below: Aug.11, 2010 - the Cafe
Linh has been demolished. In this building, the lintels over the front windows were square wooden beams with axe-marks visible on them, one still protrudes over where Cafe
Linh stood. The building at the far left is #111
Colborne St.

above: Aug.11, 2010 - looking up at the site from Water St., part of the front wall of the old Cafe
Linh is still seen standing, facing onto
Colborne St., in the centre-right distance; you can see through two window frames on the second floor. The wall of the building now seen exposed at the far right is the west-side wall of 111
Colborne St., lastly
Kreative Khaos.
