Notes:
This building was built to house the T. Eaton Company, one of Canada's most important retailers of the twentieth century. Due to the onset of the depression, only the first 7 floors were built of a much taller planned building. Had it been completed, Eaton's Tower would have been the largest office/retail complex in North America at that time. The building housed Eaton's until 1977, when it moved down the street to the Eaton Centre. A number of proposals called for the demolition of the building, but it became a retail complex with many stores, and was added to with apartment buildings and an office tower. In 2004, the seventh floor of the building, housing the Jacques Carlu designed restaurant and auditorium, was restored and re-opened to the public. The Carlu has been designated a National Historic Site.
The restoration of "The Carlu" won an Ontario Association of Architects Architectural Excellence Award in the "Commercial B" category in 2004.
