BUILDING INFORMATION
Name & Location:
Brock Hotel
42 King Street West
Toronto
Yonge-Bay Corridor
Year Completed:
1927
OTHER IDENTIFICATION
Alternate Name:
Toronto Towers Proposal
Notes:
This hotel was proposed in 1927 for the site where the Scotia Plaza currently stands, on King Street West. At the time, the site was occupied by the Grand Opera House, which had fallen into disrepair and was being demolished.

The hotel formed part of a two-building proposal that would have seen a 40 storey tower called the Toronto Towers Building and the hotel, connected underground by a passageway. The top floor of the hotel was to contain a large ballroom. The two floors immediately underneath were to be for the highest quality rooms. The fourth floor was to consist of "sample rooms" where commercial displays could be mounted.

The project was scheduled to open on September 15, 1929, but it fell through by April of 1928.
