The building that was destroyed by a massive fire in Walkerville was up for sale.
The 48,000 sq. ft. facility, which included manufacturing and office space, was on the market for $1.95-million.
The fire at 1370 Argyle began around 11am Wednesday and was officially declared out by 7:30am Thursday.
For 20 hours, 60 firefighters attacked the blaze — dumping the equivalent of 10 Olympic-sized swimming pools on the inferno.
Manor Real Estate Agent Gregory Miell says the property owner had put in a lot work and money into renovating the building such as investing $150,000 on a new roof.
He says the building was about 70 to 80 years old and had some unique finishes.
"Instantly I knew because of the dry wood and that it was all pristine, very old lumber, it would have just lit up, there would have been no way to stop that fire," says Miell. "It was all wooded trusses so it would have been all very old."
Miell says it is a devastating loss for the owner.
"He really liked the building, loved the building. He was doing it up in a Walkerville fashion so it had a nice finish."
In fact, Miell says the property owner was sitting at the real estate office listing some of his condos for sale when he received the call from his contractor about the fire.
Co-owner of Trimhouse Carlo Cicconi, which is next door, says part of the building was rented out.
