Notes:

Originally owned by the wholesale grocer T. Griffith, this ornate warehouse was later acquired by the leather merchant G. L. Beardmore, resident of 136 Beverly Street (now home to the city's Italian consulate), with whom it is most closely associated. Its construction, along with that of the Gooderham Flatiron Building, reflects the late 19th-century economic intensification of this area.
