Exciting news - Indwell's new affordable housing project on the site of the old Embassy Hotel (744 Dundas Street) has been named the "Embassy Commons" in tribute to the location’s past history. One of my watercolours from the Embassy Hotel series commissioned by my sister and former owner Helen Haller in 1978 - which she donated to the collection of Museum London in the summer of 2019 - will be featured on one of the facade walls of the building. The new name was officially announced at the Hope@Home Virtual Gala on June 12. Hassan Law was a sponsor of this event. For more information, please go to Indwell's page on the the project.
