From the City's report regarding the inclusion of these properties on the Heritage Registry:
"The properties at 450 and 454 Eglinton Avenue West have cultural heritage value for the design of the commercial buildings as representative examples of “Main Street Rows” identified by the two-storey scale, the glazed commercial storefronts with residential or commercial units in the upper floor, and the modest classical detailing typical of those dating to the interwar era in North Toronto. The buildings are particularly distinguished by the decorative stone motifs separated by robust piers.

Contextually, the properties at 450 and 454 Eglinton Avenue West are valued for the role of the commercial buildings 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 buildings at 450 and 454 Eglinton Avenue West are historically, visually and physically linked to their setting on the north side of the street as part of a contiguous row of commercial buildings with a shared setback in the block between Castle Knock Road and Heddington Avenue."
