Christened after the Commissioner of Works for Toronto city, the R. C. Harris Water Treatment Plant is known as much for its marvelous architecture as its functional significance. The plant, with its unusual structure, often assumes a sinister appearance, perhaps primed and further reinforced by its representation in movies. For instance, the imposing building of the plant has featured in the movie In The Mouth of Madness, where it was portrayed as a mental asylum, while the movie Strange Brew portrayed it as a horrific brewery. Besides its Orwellian-inspired demeanor, the R. C. Harris Water Treatment Plant still functions today as a sewage treatment plant, where the water from Lake Ontario is purified and supplied to several cities.

A landmark for the 21st Century, the Absolute World complex is an eye-catching addition to Mississauga's skyline.

Interestingly, the towers have been labeled 'Marilyn Monroe' by locals due to its voluptuous hourglass shape.

At Yonge and Wellington, between Scott and Church, is an historic triangle of bricks and mortar known locally as the Flatiron Building.

The pub in the basement is a popular haunt, and features a massive outdoor patio that overlooks one of the richest architectural areas of the city. Today this building is home to Gilbert's LLP, lawyers and patent & Trademark Agents.
