Origin
Summary
245 Logan was one of the first Dominion Stores in Canada and is on property that was earlier owned by Samuel Sewell, a patriarch of Leslieville's black community, who escaped slavery in Virginia to found a thriving community of refugees around the corner of Logan and Queen.
It is also attached to 889-893 Queen Street East, which were identified as being of potential heritage significance in the Leslieville Urban Design Guidelines. Changes to this property would have potential impacts on the conjoined buildings above and beyond any impacts just on the property.
