Name & Location:
Century Coal Company
312 Cherry Street
Toronto
South Riverdale
Notes:
312 Cherry Street: The Century Coal Company (now Essroc Cement Company) is identified as a significant cultural resource for architectural and contextual reasons. The property is located on the harbour (west) side of Cherry Street opposite the entrance to Villiers Street. The first silos on the site were completed in 1920 for the Century Coal Company, a business that occupied the property for 40 years and was succeeded by the Lake Ontario Portland Cement Company (now Essroc Cement Company). Prominent waterfront landmarks, the silos are among the few structures of this type that survive on Toronto’s waterfront. They are important in context with the silos of the Canada Cement Company at 54 Polson Street, a property that was listed on the City of Toronto Inventory of Heritage Properties on June 24, 25 and 26, 2003.
