OTHER IDENTIFICATION
Notes:

The New Toronto hydro substation was completed in 1917, designed by Edward James Lennox in the Edwardian Classical style.  E.J. Lennox is the same architect responsible for many Toronto landmarks such as Old City Hall and Casa Loma.  The substation was built to accommodate the growing electricity demands of New Toronto, which was once a major industrial suburb. 124 Birmingham Street and the surrounding site are currently for sale by CreateTO, the city's real estate arm.  A request was placed in April 2019 by councillor Mark Grimes for heritage designation.
