BUILDING INFORMATION
Name & Location:
Charles Steinle Meat Packing Company
256 King Street East
Toronto
Moss Park
Year Completed:
1890
OTHER IDENTIFICATION
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.
