OTHER IDENTIFICATION
Notes:
From the City's report regarding the inclusion of this property on the Heritage Registry:
"Anchoring the northeast corner of Geary Avenue and Dovercourt Road, the property at 80 Geary Avenue represents a unique example on the street of the walk-up Interwar Apartment typology. The construction of the three-storey brick clad building originally known as the Gambo Apartments includes a corner commercial storefront at grade with dwelling units occupying the remainder of the space. Through its materiality and low scale, the multi-residential property wraps around what was once the main intersection of this neighbourhood, stitching together the then commercial character of the properties on either side of Dovercourt Road on Geary Avenue and the residential neighbourhood directly to the north.

The Edwardian styling of the building includes a two-storey oriel window perched above the storefront entrance on the chamfered southwest corner of the property, an elegant round-arched main entrance to the apartments centred on the west elevation which is flanked by a two-storey rectangular projecting bay at the upper levels, and stone detailing with the lintels and sills as well as the main entryway keystone and springers."
