- The WB-SSD will also contain a series of signage regulations permitting and regulating specific forms of first-party "directional signs" within the WB-SSD-CR, WB-SSD-C, and WB-SSD-OS sub-designations, which may display up to eight sign faces, with an aggregate sign face area of up to 40 square metres, and a maximum height of eight metres.
- The WB-SSD will contain signage regulations permitting and regulating third party electronic signs displaying electronic static copy with maximum sign face area of 85 square metres and requiring first party static sign copy with a maximum 14 square metre sign face area identifying specific uses within the WB-SSD.
2. Amendments to the area-specific restrictions prohibiting third-party signs within 400 meters of any limit of Highway 427 and Highway 27 to permit the implementation of WB-SSD by excluding 555 Rexdale Boulevard from these restrictions. This adjustment will allow for the implementation of the specific signage regulations permitting and regulating appropriate third-party signage within the WB-SSD.

Notice of Intention to Designate - 1313 Queen Street West
NOTICE OF INTENTION TO DESIGNATE THE PROPERTY
TAKE NOTICE that Council for the City of Toronto intends to designate the property, including the lands, buildings and structures thereon known municipally as 1313 Queen Street West under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.O.18, as amended, as a property of cultural heritage value or interest.
Reasons for Designation
The property at 1313 Queen Street West is worthy of designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value and meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation under all three categories of design, associative and contextual value.
Description
The property at 1313 Queen Street West is located on the south side of Queen Street West between Cowan Avenue and Dunn Avenue in the Parkdale neighbourhood, and contains the former Police Station No. 6, a two-storey building completed in 1931-32. The building combines elements of the Art Deco and Art Moderne styles and was designed by the City Architect's Office led by J.J. Woolnough, with K.S. Gillies (Deputy City Architect), and designer S.T.J. Fryer.
The property was listed on the City of Toronto's Inventory of Heritage Properties (now the Heritage Register) on May 2, 1983, and is located within the proposed Parkdale Main Street Heritage Conservation District, which is currently under appeal.
Statement of Significance
1313 Queen Street West has design and physical value as a representative example of a civic building that is distinguished by its Art Deco and Art Moderne detailing on its street-facing elevations. The popularity of these styles peaked in the late 1920s to 1930s, making the former Police Station No. 6, which was constructed in 1931-32, strongly of its time. The property's two-storey scale and rectangular massing, flat roof, brick cladding with stone detailing, stepped planes, and emphasis on horizontality are characteristic of these architectural styles, which sought to create a clean and streamlined aesthetic.
The design of 1313 Queen Street West displays a high degree of artistic merit through its seamless blending of both Art Deco and Art Moderne design principles, two related but different architectural styles. The property comprises several integrated volumes organized around a central courtyard, with the exterior detailing of each volume reflecting the hierarchy of original use within. Material accents of stone and copper are reserved for the street-facing elevations where they are effectively used to create a cohesive and restrained composition.
The property at 1313 Queen Street West is directly associated with the themes of arts and culture and affordable housing, through its later uses as emergency and low-income rental housing and as the Parkdale Arts and Cultural Centre. Parkdale's community identity has been shaped by local residents' advocacy on issues of affordability, equity, and opportunity, which has evolved from the neighbourhood's longstanding history of welcoming and supporting people from all backgrounds into the community, including new immigrants, former mental health patients, students, and artists.
The building is also associated with Artscape, a group of non-profit organizations that provide programs, services and physical space to support local artists and others in the arts and culture community. The Parkdale Arts and Cultural Centre was Artscape's first mixed-use development project.
The former Police Station No. 6 building at 1313 Queen Street West is part of an important collection of civic architecture designed by the Office of the City Architect in the early 1930s. The architects and designers that worked for the City during this time period embraced modern ideas and principles, producing several celebrated works of civic architecture, including Fire Hall No. 12 and the Symes Road Incinerator. By relying extensively on building materials produced in Toronto for its construction, the building also has value for its historical associations to local manufacturers and businesses.
The property reflects the architectural career of J. J. Woolnough, who held the position of City Architect during the early 1930s when Police Station No.6 was designed and constructed. During his extended career with the City of Toronto, Woolnough oversaw the plans for an important collection of public buildings that embraced the Art Deco and Art Moderne styles, including the Horse Palace at the Canadian National Exhibition. His career as a public servant from 1904 to 1932, coincides with nearly the entirety of the existence of the City Architect's Office, which was established in 1903 and restructured into the Department of Buildings in 1933.
The property at 1313 Queen Street West is contextually important in maintaining and supporting the character of the Parkdale neighbourhood, which retains a strong sense of place through its cohesive collection of buildings constructed between the 1880s and 1930s, coinciding with the period of the area’s incorporation as a separate municipality and the wave of development following its annexation into the City of Toronto. The property's materiality and 2-storey height contribute to the consistent streetwall along this portion of Queen Street West.
The contextual value of 1313 Queen Street West is also demonstrated by its historical and functional links to the intersection of Queen Street West and Cowan Avenue, where it contributes to an important cluster of civic and religious buildings. The location of this civic precinct was established during the time that Parkdale was its own entity, encompassing police and fire services and government offices for the local population. The collection of buildings has evolved over time, incorporating new uses that allow them to continue to serve the area’s diverse resident and business communities.
The property at 1313 Queen Street West anchors the southwest corner of Queen Street West and Cowan Avenue. Its location, historical associations and design value give it prominence within its context, making it a landmark within the Parkdale neighbourhood.

Notice of Intention to Designate - 153 and 185 Eastern Avenue
NOTICE OF INTENTION TO DESIGNATE THE PROPERTY
TAKE NOTICE that Council for the City of Toronto intends to designate the property, including the lands, buildings and structures thereon known municipally as 153 and 185 Eastern Avenue under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.O.18, as amended, as a property of cultural heritage value or interest.
Reasons for Designation
The Dominion Wheel & Foundries Complex
The properties at 153 and 185 Eastern Avenue are worthy of designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for their cultural heritage value, and meet Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation under all three categories of design, associative and contextual value.
Description
The properties at 153 and 185 Eastern Avenue are located in the West Don Lands neighbourhood, on the south side of Eastern Avenue between Rolling Mills Road and Bayview Avenue. The buildings were originally part of a larger industrial complex for the Dominion Wheel & Foundries Company that spanned from Cherry Street to (former) Overend Street. The grouping is associated with the rail and industrial uses predominant in the surrounding area in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and contains a collection of two-storey buildings originally constructed between 1929 and 1953. They were used for industrial purposes until the late 1980s, when they were among several properties expropriated by the province for a redevelopment initiative intended to provide affordable housing in a new mixed-use neighbourhood. The project did not move forward, and the buildings are currently vacant.
The properties at 153, 169, 171 and 185 Eastern Avenue were listed on the City of Toronto's Inventory of Heritage Properties (now the Heritage Register) on October 1, 2004. As a consequence of some demolition activity by the province in early 2021, both the buildings located at 169 and 171 Eastern Avenue have been removed, although sufficient material has been salvaged to permit a reconstruction of the north elevation of the building located at 169 Eastern Avenue.
Two remaining properties contribute to the understanding of the Dominion Wheel & Foundries complex, as follows:
- 153 Eastern Avenue: a two-storey rectangular industrial building known as the "Cleaning Room", constructed for the Dominion Wheel & Foundries Co. Ltd. to the designs of engineering firm Proctor, Redfern & Laughlin in 1953.
- 185 Eastern Avenue: a two-storey rectangular industrial building known as the "Machine Shop", likely constructed c.1930. Significant additions were made to the building in 1940 (north addition linking the Machine Shop with the Storage Building to the north), c.1946 (west addition) and 1947 (east addition), all to the designs of engineering firm James, Proctor & Redfern.
Statement of Cultural Heritage Value
The properties at 153 and 185 Eastern Avenue have design value as representative examples of a mid-20th-century vernacular industrial style. As articulated on the Cleaning Room at 153 Eastern Avenue and the Machine Shop at 185 Eastern Avenue, this vernacular expression is typified by restrained classical features, including symmetrical composition of bays and piers, brick piers with concrete footings, pediments formed by gabled rooflines, and concrete window sills. These buildings also prominently feature large, multi-paned industrial steel windows that maximize natural light exposure, and which are similarly representative of the mid-century industrial architectural style. The architectural style of these properties is rare within the surrounding context of the West Don Lands.
The subject properties once functioned together as part of a larger industrial site spanning from Cherry Street to (former) Overend Street. Together, they are a rare surviving example of an industrial complex typology in the West Don Lands neighbourhood.
The former Dominion Wheel & Foundries complex has value through its direct associations with Dominion Wheel & Foundries Ltd. The company was established in Toronto in 1913 and played an important role in supplying rail and train parts to Canada's burgeoning rail industry in the first half of the 20th century. Shortly after incorporation, the company moved onto a large site at the southeast corner of Cherry Street and Eastern Avenue and gradually expanded their operations eastward through the early half of the 20th century. In 1929, the company purchased a large tract of land from the CNOR (including the subject properties at 153-185 Eastern Avenue), and proceeded to construct a series of buildings related to the company's principal operations as a foundry for the railway industry.
The complex has historic value as it yields information about the historical development of the West Don Lands neighbourhood, which evolved from its earliest use as a Government Reserve fortifying the eastern edge of York, to the burgeoning immigrant neighbourhood of Corktown in the mid-19th century, to its establishment as an important industrial centre in the city in the late-19th and early-20th centuries following the introduction of the railways. Due to its location on former CNOR lands, proximity to the rail corridor, and original use manufacturing equipment for the rail industry, the subject site also yields information about the rise and subsequent decline of the rail industry in Canada through the 19th and 20th centuries.
The complex has further associative value as it demonstrates the work of the prolific Toronto-based engineering firm of James, Proctor & Redfern (later Proctor, Redfern & Laughlin), who were responsible for the building program at the Dominion Wheel & Foundries complex during its period of expansion from the 1920s to the 1950s. Established c.1920 by founding partners architect Edgar Augustus James (1874-1927), and engineers Edward Moore Proctor (1888-1972) and Wesley Blaine Redfern (1886-1960), the firm was instrumental in civil engineering and city-building in Southern Ontario's growing municipalities in the early 20th century. The firm is credited with a varied portfolio of projects, including firehalls, industrial buildings, bridges, dams, sewage treatment plants, storm water management systems, and environmental engineering projects. The firm was also responsible for Hamilton's High Level Bridge in the early 1930s, in collaboration with celebrated architect John Lyle.
As a former industrial complex built between c.1912 and 1953 on former CNOR lands and in proximity to the extant rail corridors to the south and east, the Dominion Wheel & Foundries complex has contextual value for its functional and historical links to its surroundings. While the surrounding area reflects major redevelopment and master-planning projects from the late 20th and early 21st centuries, including the Don Valley Parkway overpasses directly to the north and the surrounding high-density mixed-use West Don Lands neighbourhood, the site is part of a larger post-industrial landscape within the West Don Lands. Surviving structures from this landscape include the former Canadian National Railways Office Building located to the southwest at 453 Cherry Street (and originally part of the same large CNOR property as the Dominion Wheel & Foundries complex), the Consumers' Gas Co. building to the southwest at 51 Parliament Street, the Gooderham & Worts Distillery to the southwest, the Cherry Street Interlocking Station at 385 Cherry Street, and the extant rail corridors to the south and east. Many of these buildings have been adaptively reused.
As a large site reflecting a mid-20th-century industrial typology, and as the last remaining former industrial complex in the surrounding area, the complex is a landmark within the West Don Lands neighbourhood. The site also terminates the view north on Tannery Road.

Notice of Intention to Designate - 789 - 793 Don Mills Road
NOTICE OF INTENTION TO DESIGNATE THE PROPERTY
TAKE NOTICE that Council for the City of Toronto intends to designate the property, including the lands, buildings and structures thereon known municipally as 789-793 Don Mills Road under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.O.18, as amended, as a property of cultural heritage value or interest.
Reasons for Designation
The property at 789-793 Don Mills Road (including entrance address at 793 Don Mills Road), is worthy of designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value, and meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation under all the criteria of design/physical, historical/associative and contextual value.
Description
The property is located in the Core Character Area within the Don Mills Crossing Secondary Plan (Official Plan Amendment 404) boundary. It was identified as having cultural heritage value in the inventory included in North York's Modernist Architecture, first published in 1997, with a revised edition in 2009.
The Independent Order of Foresters building, known as Foresters House, at 789-793 Don Mills Road was constructed between 1965 and 1967 as part of a complex known as Olympia Square, developed by Olympia and York and designed by Kaljo Voore, an Estonian Canadian architect, of Bregman and Hamman with Craig, Zeidler & Strong. Foresters House, is a 22-storey office tower which sits on a wide, raised plaza accessed by stairs and a ramp, a parking structure to the east and a landscaped surround which includes a sunken garden on the west side of the two-storey pavilion building (one storey is visible from the street) to the north which originally contained restaurants and shops. Originally clad in self-cleaning, glazed, white ceramic tiles, the building has been re-clad in insulated aluminium panels in 1988. Olympia Square also originally included the 16-storey tower at 797 Don Mills Road, also designed by Bregman and Hamman and completed in 1964-1965. The second tower, now known as Tribeca Lofts, was converted to condominiums in 1994 which involved the alterations of the building to include balconies.
Foresters House was constructed for the Independent Order of Foresters (IOF), a "family fraternal benefit society"[1] which began in the 19th century to provide insurance to working class families. One of its first leaders, was Dr. Oronhyatekha (Burning Cloud, 1841-1907), a member of the Six Nations, educated at the University of Toronto and Oxford who provided exceptional leadership in his support and care for women, minorities and children. In 1879, he introduced a motion to include women as members in the IOF. Now an international organization, throughout its history the IOF has provided charitable assistance to individuals and nations in need during times of economic depression, war and natural disasters as well as supporting children through charities such as the Children's Miracle Network. Today, it is an international financial services provider offering opportunities for investment as well as insurance and continues philanthropic work.
Located on the east side of Don Mills Road just south of Eglinton Avenue East, the property is in the Flemingdon Park Industrial Estate, developed in tandem with the residential section of Flemingdon Park, south of Eglinton, in 1958. Laid out by Macklin Hancock, the Flemingdon Park plan repeated many of the core principles and elements of the Don Mills plan to the north. These included extensive open space with landscaped setbacks from the street and buildings designed in a modern architectural style. It was Hancock's intention that whereas low-rise buildings would line Wynford Drive, mid-rise and high-rise office towers would be located on Eglinton Avenue East and at the intersection of Eglinton with Don Mills Road. Foresters House at 789-793 Don Mills Road is an example of this Flemingdon Park typology.
Statement of Cultural Heritage Value
The International Order of Foresters building, now known as Foresters House, has cultural heritage value for its design which represents a skyscraper typology constructed in the Late Modern style. The style is evident in the heavily-articulated façade with its deep, vertical piers, and chamfered, horizontal panels under the customary ribbon windows. With its tall, double-height first storey, repetitive intervening floors and tall parapet wall at the top, it represents the skyscraper typology with its tripartite composition of base, column and top. Its surrounding with and access from a large, raised plaza, with a double-storey, fully-glazed ground floor and the sunken, out-door garden with a sloping lawn, paved area, trees and plantings on the west side of the two-storey pavilion building (one storey is visible from the street) are characteristic setting and landscape features of Late Modernism. The integration of landscape and landscaped setbacks are characteristic of Don Mills and Flemingdon Park planning principles.
Constructed in 1965-1967, the property has historic value as the international headquarters for the Independent Order of Foresters (IOF), a historic fraternal organization which was established in Canada in the 1870s to provide insurance to working class families and was from 1881, guided by the leadership of the visionary and egalitarian Dr. Oronhyatekha, a member of the Six Nations. The IOF is an international insurance and investment organization which, throughout its history, has been a leader in philanthropy assisting during wars, depressions and natural disasters.
The property has value as it is associated with the development of Flemingdon Park from 1958 onwards by Toronto Industrial Leaseholds and Webb and Knapp Canada with the layout undertaken by Macklin Hancock who was also the lead planner of Don Mills. It is also valued for its association with the subsequent owners of Flemingdon Park, the Reichmann brothers, of Olympia & York, who developed this property as Olympia Square, creating a highly visible landmark for Flemingdon Park and Don Mills and who would become one of Canada's most significant international development companies who championed the cause of high quality, innovative design. The design of Don Mills with Flemingdon Park is significant to the local community and is an example of post-war suburban planning.
The property has value as it reflects the ideas of the architects, Bregman and Hamman and Craig, Zeidler and Strong. Bregman and Hamman, now known as B+H Architects, which was established in 1953 by Sidney Bregman and George Frederick Hamann, is now one of the 50 largest architectural firms in the world. The firm has been awarded numerous times including the Governor General's Medal and an Award of Merit, and the RAIC Innovation in Architecture Award and two Ontario Association of Architects Awards. The lead architect, Kaljo Voore, was part of a significant diasporic community of Estonian architects who immigrated to Canada during and after the Second World War. He was the leading design architect at Bregman and Hamann and master planned and designed several high-profile projects in Ontario including the Skylon Tower and Exhibition Hall (1964) overlooking Niagara Falls, Voore also master planned the Scarborough Town Centre, the Scarborough Centenary Hospital (1967), and Don Mill’s Olympia Square at 797 Don Mills Road and 789-793 Don Mills Road.
Craig, Zeidler and Strong was founded in 1961 by James Craig, Eberhard Zeidler and William A. Strong and is well-known for their work at Ontario Place and the McMaster Health Sciences Centre, the Hospital for Sick Children and for the Eaton Centre, also done in partnership with B+H Architects. In 1975, the firm became known as the Zeidler Partnership and was responsible for Canada Place at Vancouver's Expo 86. Eberhard Zeidler received the Order of Canada in 1984 and the firm has received numerous awards including the Ontario Association of Architects Awards, Canadian Architect Awards, City of Toronto Architecture and Urban Design Awards, Heritage Toronto Awards, the American Institute of Architects, and the RAIC – National Trust Prix du XXE Siècle Award for Ontario Place. It is now an international practice with offices in Berlin and Beijing.
The Foresters tower property has contextual value as it contributes to and defines the 1960s, Late Modern, mid-rise character of Flemingdon Park at the intersection of Don Mills Road and Eglinton Avenue East as designed by Macklin Hancock. In its typology, location, scale, massing and period details it is historically as well as visually and functionally linked to its surroundings. As it is seen from various viewpoints along Eglinton Avenue and Don Mills Road, it is a landmark marking the heart of the Flemingdon Park Community and Don Mills.

Notice of Intention to Designate - 4888 Dundas Street West
NOTICE OF INTENTION TO DESIGNATE THE PROPERTY
TAKE NOTICE that Council for the City of Toronto intends to designate the property, including the lands, buildings and structures thereon known municipally as 4888 Dundas Street West under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.O.18, as amended, as a property of cultural heritage value or interest.
Reasons for Designation
The property at 4888 Dundas Street West is worthy of designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value, and meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation under the criteria of design/physical, historical/associative and contextual values.
Description
The property at 4888 Dundas Street West comprises a two-storey house constructed in 1879. It is located midblock on the north side of Dundas Street West between Burnhamthorpe Road and Burnhamthorpe Crescent in the village of Islington area of Etobicoke. The brick house was designed in the Italianate style and originally featured a wraparound verandah. It is now distinguished by its hipped roof and symmetrical façade. The polychromatic brick has been painted on the main facades and a c. late 1940s addition attached to the southwest corner of the house. The property housed the post office from 1887-1906, while also serving as the residence for postmasters Thomas and Elizabeth Musson. In addition to its continued use as a residence, it contained the local telephone exchange from 1912-25.
Statement of Cultural Heritage Value
Design and Physical Value
The property at 4888 Dundas Street West, built 1879, has design value as a unique example of Italianate style design in Toronto. The house represents an understated version of Italianate design in combination with an earlier, more conservative Georgian-style aesthetic. In reference to Georgian-style architecture, the house is of rectangular form with a symmetrical main façade, hipped roof and central doorway with side and transom lights. However, numerous features align the home with the more contemporary Italianate style of the time such as the segmental arched windows, polychromatic brickwork, and the detailing of the main doorway assembly with its rounded sidelights, thick rope mouldings and panelled base. Further, the design originally featured two-over-two windows sashes, and a verandah will bellcast eaves to create a picturesque effect characteristic of Italianate style design.
Historical or Associative Value
The property has historical value given that it yields information that contributes to an understanding of the historical development of the village of Islington.
The site occupies a position on Dundas Street West, which was the main street of the Islington village and an important strategic and military road established further south in 1795 but resurveyed through this location in 1814. The road became a stagecoach route in 1816 and then an important location of converging local roads by the 1840s. In the decade before, however, the village had already begun to take form with a tavern, store, and services typical of a small, rural village.
By 1879, when the house was constructed for Township clerk, Alexander MacPherson (1822-1906), the village contained 200 people and had just gained railway service the same year. The property became an Islington focal point and contributed significantly to the social fabric of the community as the post office from 1887-1906, while also serving as the residence for postmasters Thomas and Elizabeth Musson. In addition to its continued use as a residence, it contained the local telephone exchange from 1912-25.
Contextual Value
The presence of 4888 Dundas Street West, in addition to several other municipally recognized heritage properties, serves to symbolize the location of Islington village and is historically linked to its surroundings.
The subject property is situated within close proximity to two other sites designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act: the Montgomery Inn (c.1832), a site to the east, and the Etobicoke Township Hall (built 1843 as the Methodist church), a site one block west. Additionally, two other sites to the north are listed on the City's Heritage Register. Immediately behind the house is the Islington United Church (1949), and a block further north at 66 Burnhamthorpe Road is the 1907 Johnston residence built for descendants of the first settlers to the area. This small collection of buildings, of which the subject property contributes to, are integral to representing the historic development of the Islington community.
Heritage Attributes
Design and Physical Value
Attributes that contribute to the value of the property at 4888 Dundas Street West as a unique example of Italianate style design include:
- The form, scale and massing of the building as a rectangular, two-storey, house-form building
- The hipped roof

Notice of Intention to Designate - 15 Elm Street
NOTICE OF INTENTION TO DESIGNATE THE PROPERTY
TAKE NOTICE that Council for the City of Toronto intends to designate the property, including the lands, buildings and structures thereon known municipally as 15 Elm Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, R.S.O. 1990, c.O.18, as amended, as a property of cultural heritage value or interest.
Reasons for Designation
The property at 15 Elm Street is worthy of designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act for its cultural heritage value, and meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation under the criteria of design and physical, historical and associative and contextual values.
Description
Located on the south side of Elm Street between Yonge and Bay streets in the city's first immigrant neighbourhood, The Ward, the property at 15 Elm Street contains a 2-storey house-form building completed by 1868 and first owned by Irish-Canadian bricklayer, Robert Kennedy, and family.
Statement of Cultural Heritage Value
Design and Physical Value
Built in 1868, the property at 15 Elm Street is valued as a remaining example of a Confederation-era house-form building designed in the Georgian Revival style which is evident in its red brick construction, rubble stone foundation and brick, stone and wood detailing. The symmetrically-arranged openings on the upper storey of the principal (north) and east elevations contain masonry sills and segmental-arched brick headers in a solider course pattern.
In 1922-1924, a storefront was added at street level with off-set entrance to the existing residential space above. The residential entrance maintains its wood and glass transom and door surround. This resulting mixed use type of house-form buildings is considered a defining feature of the south side of Elm Street today.
Historical and Associative Value
The property is significant as one of the earliest (Confederation-era) surviving house-form buildings constructed on the south side of Elm Street between Yonge and Bay streets in 1868. Since the mid-19th century, Elm Street has continued to provide an understanding of the built form of Toronto's first immigrant neighbourhood, The Ward.
Contextual Value
The property at 15 Elm Street, embodies part of a significant collection of 19th-century house-form buildings representative of this early period of land development on the block of Elm Street between Yonge and Bay streets within the city's historically significant St. John's Ward ("The Ward"), and part of the collection of diverse 19th-century building types and uses that have contributed to the unique quality of Elm Street today.
Within the context of a neighbourhood originally developed with mainly residential properties in the mid-to-late 19th century, and on the south side of Elm Street between Yonge and Bay where numerous properties of similar type, scale, placement and setback are already recognized on the City's Heritage Register, the subject property at 15 Elm Street is valued for its historic, physical and visual links to its surroundings for more than 150 years.
Heritage Attributes
Design and Physical Value
Attributes that contribute to the value of the property at 15 Elm Street as representative of a Confederation-era house-form building designed in the Georgian Revival style include:
- The scale, form and massing of the red brick house-form building with its two-storey rectangular plan
- The rubble stone foundation
- The gable roof and two red brick chimneys located north and south of the gable peak at its western edge
- The principal (north) elevation of the building, which is organized into two bays
- The segmental-arched window openings on the upper storey of the principal (north) and east elevations, with their brick header detailing and masonry sills
- The early 1920s wood and glass transom and door surround at the east end of the principal (north) elevation and leading to the upper storey space
- The early 1920s stringcourse directly above the early storefront and off-set residential entrance on the principal (north) elevation (currently over-clad with wooden boards)
Contextual Value
Attributes that contribute to the contextual value of 15 Elm Street as defining and supporting the character of this portion of Elm Street, and as being historically and visually linked to its surroundings include:
- The setback, placement and orientation of the building on its lot on the south side of Elm Street between Yonge Street and Bay Street, and directly adjacent to Harry Barberian Lane to the east and south of the property

Notice of an objection to the Notice of Intention to Designate the Property may be served on the City Clerk, Attention: Administrator, Secretariat, City Clerk's Office, Toronto City Hall, 2nd Floor West, 100 Queen Street West, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 2N2.; Email: hertpb@toronto.ca within thirty days of May 16, 2023, which is June 15, 2023.
