OTHER IDENTIFICATION
Notes:
From the City's report regarding the inclusion of this property on the Heritage Registry:
"Located at the western terminus of Geary Avenue, just east of Primrose Avenue, the property located at 329 Geary Avenue contains a one-storey Warehouse/Factory type building associated with a post-war period of industrial expansion on Geary Avenue, particularly west of Dufferin Street. It was completed in 1949 for George Weston Ltd, A Canadian public company founded in 1882 and best known today for its Weston Foods and Loblaw operations. The shipping and receiving function of the original building belies the importance of its location abutting the CP railway tracks on the south side of Geary Avenue. The two-storey office building at the east end of the property is a later addition.

The 1949 single-storey, vernacular industrial building features Classical elements with red brick common bond cladding, a regular rhythm of fenestration with cast stone sills, a central main entrance signalled by a quoined stone entry surround and surmounted by a broadly stepped brick parapet roofline trimmed with metal coping."
