OTHER IDENTIFICATION
Notes:
In the Inventory of Heritage Properties as 578 King Street West. The Davis and Henderson Building is architecturally significant as a good example of an early 20th century commercial warehouse with detailing from Classical and Gothic decorative elements. Located on the north side of King Street West near Portland Street, the building contributes contextually to the character of the King-Spadina neighbourhood as it developed as an industrial area in the early 20th century. The heritage attributes of the building are found on the exterior walls and roof with attention focused on the principal (south) facade. The structure, clad with red brick and trimmed with stone, rises two stories above a basement. A series of gables marks the flat roof. The south facade is organized into five bays by a mix of brick piers and pilasters with scrolled stone coping. The main entrance, found at street level in the right (east) bay, has a wood entablature with dentils that is supported by stone brackets. Flat-headed window openings with stone lintels light the basement. The segmental-arched window openings in the first floor and the semielliptical openings in the second storey are decorated with brick voussoirs. The east and west elevations abut the neighbouring structures.
