The property at 177 Warren Road is worthy of inclusion on the City of Toronto Inventory of Heritage Properties for its cultural heritage value or interest. Located on the east side of Warren Road, south of Lonsdale Road, Eden Smith designed the house for Fred C. Thompson. While a building permit was issued in April 1919, the city directories recorded the house as “vacant” in 1920 and 1921. The following year, Jane Thompson, a widow, occupied the premises.

The cultural heritage value of the Jane Thompson House is related to its design or physical value as a representative example of Arts and Crafts styling, its historical association with architect Eden Smith, and its contextual importance in helping to define, maintain and support the character of the Forest Hill neighbourhood north of St. Clair Avenue West. The steeply-pitched roof with a front gable and a massive chimney, as well as the openings with multiple windows are features associated with Eden Smith’s residential practice. The Classical detailing sets the house apart from many of his other commissions.
