The Korean Canadian Cultural Center is located at 1133 Leslie Street North York, Ontario. The building is not visible from the street because it is located on an embankment. The winding road leading up to the street is lined with trees and provides a direct view to the building. Surrounding the building is a lawn to the west, directly in front of the first floor glazed foyer space. To the north side, the building shares a parking lot with the property neighboring it. The building backs onto Don Mills Trail, previously the Canadian National Railway. In 1961 the center was designed by S.D.F. Reszetnik and originally occupied by Pringle & Booth Photography Services, followed by multiple tenants, ultimately renaming the building to the Art Centre. A fourth addition to the south side was added in 1965, while the building was leased to various tenants.

Significant architectural changes occurred in 1996 by the KCCA, namely, adding the steel-timber clad canopy and the angled skylight. The design of the building is characterized by abundant light, floor to ceiling glazing and light industrial architecture. The light quality of the glazing marking the interior contrasts the dense brick cladding of the exterior. The redundant ribbon of windows on the second floor divided by metal fins is reminiscent of 1960s architectural industrial building expressions. Preserving the quality of the windows, masonry cladding and abundance of light in the building is important. This can be completed with regular maintenance, and conscious master planning in the community. High rises that may block sun exposure to the site should be avoided. The abundance of green space in the front lawn, and the road leading up to the building should also be maintained because it is reflective of the Garden City Principle initially established in the Leaside community.

The architectural heritage value of 1133 Leslie Street is understood in its historical value, as part of the Leaside development, also known as the Don Mills Development Plan. The building’s historical significance housing Pringle & Booth, many Toronto creatives and ultimately the Korean Cultural Association merit its value as a heritage building, despite its industrial standard design.
