out to shoot a few holes of frisbee golf at Seton last Tuesday, i took another picture (i have dozens) of the pond

now here's the Domtar plant, which operated from the 1960s until 1989, when all the buildings were demolished except a couple at the back now used as the Toronto Police Dog Training facility
can you get a feel for where this kiln from 1800 might be?
