From the City's report regarding the inclusion of this property on the Heritage Registry:
"The property at 460 Eglinton Avenue West has cultural heritage value for the design of the commercial building as a representative example of a “Main Street Row” identified by the two-storey scale, the glazed commercial storefront 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 building is distinguished by its breadth and the corbelled brickwork along the south roofline.
Contextually, the property at 460 Eglinton Avenue West is 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 building at 460 Eglinton Avenue West is historically, visually and physically linked to its 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."
