Notes:
Now considered part of a structure at 260 King Street East. There is some possibility I have the wrong building here, it is very hard to tell from sources. This property’s contribution lies in its location within the Original 10
Blocks and its historic role in the economic intensification of the
District and the Original 10 Blocks in the late 19th century. The
structure also contributes to the physical character of the District
through its materiality (red brickwork with stone detailing), its glazed
storefront with a recessed entrance and its high quality Romanesque
Revival architectural detailing, attributes which characterize the
commercial warehouse typology within the District. The property has
a significant relationship with the neighbouring structure (254 King
Street East) and the industrial red brick buildings in the same block,
which jointly constitute the Ontario Design Centre, and contribute to
the contemporary economic character of the District.
