OTHER IDENTIFICATION

Notes:

The property at 211 College Street has design value as well-crafted examples of garden court apartments from the interwar era. Comprising three buildings that are set in and separated by open landscaped space, the Cawthra Mansions are further distinguished by their well-crafted classical detailing, which complements the neighbouring institutional buildings on the University of Toronto’s campus on the opposite side of College Street.
Contextually, the property at 211 College Street is valued for its role in defining, supporting and maintaining the historical character of College Street, west of McCaul Street, which originally developed as a residential neighbourhood. The Cawthra Mansions contribute to the evolution of the thoroughfare with the introduction of multiunit residential buildings that respect the scale and setback of the neighbouring residential properties.
The buildings at 211 College Street are historically, visually and physically linked to their setting in the block between Beverley and Ross streets. The trio of apartment buildings are placed in a landscaped setting opposite the University of Toronto’s St. George campus.
