OTHER IDENTIFICATION
Notes:

From the City's report regarding the inclusion of the property on the Heritage Registry:
"The property at 533 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 storefronts with residential or commercial units in the upper floor, and the simplified Modernist detailing with the horizontal lines and lack of ornamentation typical of those dating to the post-World War II era in North Toronto. The building is distinguished by the stone detailing, with the motifs on the north elevation and the surrounds on the oversized openings, including the corner window.

Contextually, the property at 533 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 533 Eglinton Avenue West is historically, visually and physically linked to its setting anchoring the southeast corner of Warren Road at the west end of a contiguous row of commercial buildings with a shared setback in the block between Tarlton and Warren roads."
