At a Toronto Preservation Board meeting Jan. 18, three addresses were adopted by the council to be set up for heritage building status.
The board deals with “applications to alter, demolish or remove designated or listed heritage properties; applications to repeal by-laws which designate individual properties as heritage properties and proposed heritage easements or covenants,” on behalf of city council.
505 University Ave., 1111 Danforth Ave. and 78, 80 and 86 Mimico Ave. were presented for part four heritage status in accordance to the Ontario Heritage Act. Part four of the Heritage Act covers the “conservation of property of cultural value or interest.”
Each address representing a different part of the history of Toronto, with University Ave. being the former Shell Oil building, Danforth Ave. being a converted apartment to funeral parlour and Mimico Ave. housing a bank, milk distribution centre and library.
