OTHER IDENTIFICATION
Notes:

243 Macdonell was built between 1908-1910.

In 1913, the building was used by Reach Sporting Goods Company, a leading sportswear manufacturer started by baseball player Alfred James Reach in the 1880s.

By 1919, the building was the brass foundry of leading metal manufacturer Wm. A. Rogers Ltd. For a while it was tool-and-die factory and in 1986 the factory was adapted to residential lofts, making it one of the first factory conversions in the city. Some of the units have never been up for sale again since the initial conversion, a rare glimpse inside showcases the beautiful, bright interiors characterized by wood beams, wood ceilings, and exposed brick.
