Notes:
From the City's report regarding the inclusion of this property on the Heritage Registry:
"Located on the southwest corner of Avenue Road, the property at 313 Eglinton Avenue West contains a two-storey commercial building that was completed for the Bank of Toronto in 1937 according to the designs of the architectural firm of Blackwell and Blackwell.
The property at 313 Eglinton Avenue West has cultural heritage value for the design of the building as a well-crafted bank branch in a visible “Main Street” location with features of the Classical Revival style popular for public and commercial buildings during the interwar era. The building is particularly distinguished by the stone detailing on the elevations facing Eglinton Avenue West and Avenue Road.
Contextually, the property at 313 Eglinton Avenue West is valued for the role of the commercial building in defining, supporting and maintaining the historical mid-rise streetscape character of the thoroughfare west of Yonge Street as a prominent “Main Street” in North Toronto. The building at 313 Eglinton Avenue West is historically, visually and physically linked to its setting anchoring the southwest corner of Avenue Road."
