Original Toronto Star caption: Hydro's old headquarters. Ontario Hydro's old headquarters building on University Avenue; empty since its last occupants moved into Hydro Place (right) two months ago; looks a trifle shabby in the bright sunlight beside its glasswalled successor. The $44 million Hydro Place was completed last yar and about 5;500 Hydro employees have since moved in. A Hydro spokesman said the provincially owned utility has not yet made a decision on the future of the old building; completed in 1930s.
