RadioheadFan - 250 points
Mies - 2100 points
Fairlane500 - 400 points
Building 1 - The Ontario Legislature, Queens Park Toronto Ontario
Building 2 - One King West, 1 King st. West, Toronto, Ontario
Building 3 - 415 Yonge st. downtown, Toronto, Ontario
Building 4 - Whitney Block, Toronto
Building 5 - Casa Loma
Building 6 - UCC, Toronto
I got the idea from RadioheadFan's game, but I wanted to have more variety (hence the Structures).
If you guess the city / town - 100 points
If you guess the area/ neibourhood/ district/ subdivision etc - 200 points (NOTE - In the Amalgamated City of Toronto, this can count as the city that it was in before amalgamation)
If you can get the building name - 400 points
If you can get the street adress (eg 27 Fake st. Faketown, Example Province/State) - 50 points
the highest number of points possible from a building is 750.
DO NOT GUESS AGAIN FOR at least 4 hours, and if you got points on a building correctly twice in a row, you cannot geuss again for the next building
To start, here's an easy one.

    Yup, It's the Legislature, Toronto, Ontario
    Intresting Fact - The land is actually owned by the University of Toronto, and the attic (Top Middle 3 windows) is Said to be haunted (Perhaps by Broken Promises past?2.gif2.gif)

    Well, it's definitely in Toronto, judging by the area code on the Brad J. Lamb billboard...besides, where else in Ontario would you find that many tall buildings?

    If you can get the building name - 400 points - Shouldn't I get more points for the first building? 29.gif

    youre right.. and sorry..don't know what i was thinking
    One King West, 1 King st. West, Toronto, Ontario
    Fact - It is the thinnest residential building of its height in North America, with a width (at the top) of 15 m.
    Its Height-Width ratio is 11-1, and it is the only building in N.A to use a water-based damper system

    That looks like a house about 5 blocks away from me18.gif

    You've gone from incredibly obvious to no one will figure out this shack.  bet it's in Quebec! with this thing.
     
    Stick to more famous buildings.
     
    And just a wild guess, is that in Toronto?

    Yes, it is in toronto. its is a failry obscure peice of history. here's a hint: the back of the house faces the street, because the street it was origionally built to face was on the other side, but was demolished
