Hazards of Dearborn Chemical Company
There are three gates, two of which are covered in barbed wire. There is also a warning about audio/video surveillance around the back. Two of the gates are in full view of a bustling street.
History of Dearborn Chemical Company
This building has quite the illustrious history! I was intrigued to see that broken windows (specifically the one in the lower left of the building's front-facing portion) had persisted for years, seemingly despite the construction going on. It gave this building a feeling of being renovated and yet going nowhere at the same time.
I was unable to find much about the Dearborn Chemical Company. It appears in StatsCan publications from 1949 and 1950, as well as a study on corrosion protection from 1969 in Appendix A. BlogTO has an article going over what Dundas St. West looked like in 1935, which is where I sourced my first two images from. It was also part of a consideration to be a part of Toronto's Inventory of Heritage Properties in 2009, though I'm not sure if that went anywhere. If anyone has more history on this building, I'd love to know about it.
A building which used to house a chemical company. It appears that it has been renovated at separate times throughout the past decade, though it remains boarded-up and aloof.

Go, and tell the rest of us if there is.
Yea planning to go this week, i'll let you know
I went recently, this place is locked up TIGHT. There are neighbours too that get mad if you make too much noise, me and my friend had to run out because of the residents screaming at us from the apartment building next door.
Guess im not going then, just need to wait for a POE
This place is locked up like fort knox, every window is tightly boarded or covered, there’s 10 foot gates covered in rusty razor wire, not to mention the crowded train station behind the building and busy dundas st w at the front.
