Milburn Building
47-55 Colborne Street
Toronto
Downtown Yonge East
Year Completed:
1889
OTHER IDENTIFICATION
Notes:

This property’s contribution lies in its historic association with architect E.J. Lennox; its role in the economic intensification of the District in the late 19th century; its location on the original Court House Reserve of the Town of York; and its relation to the adjacent Baxter Building (41 Colborne Street), a heritage commercial block of a similar style and age. The structure also contributes to the physical character of the District through the integrity of its unique Richardsonian Romanesque architectural features and the use of cast iron in its façade; the structure can be seen as an ornate expression of the commercial warehouse typology within the District.
