It is not possible or desirable that the materials in each building be described so there has been a necessary selection of some of the more interesting or unique buildings that have been constructed with natural stone. Over the years a surprising number of the older buildings have been demolished or rebuilt in some way. Because suitable building stones are not found immediately around Toronto they are imported. Some of the first came from England probably as ballast on ships. Early on stone tended to be reserved for trim and bases where greater durability was required, with the majority of the upper parts built of cheaper local yellow or red bricks. Heavy transport was by water and stone came from Ohio using the Welland Canal between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario and from Kingston and Quebec via The St Lawrence River and Lake Ontario. With the coming of railroads (1879 onwards) locally available building stones became economic such as sandstone from Orangeville and Caledon 60 km to the northwest and limestone from Queenston near Niagara Falls and limestone from near Orillia. Quebec and the maritime provinces of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick also supplied stone by rail. The nature and behaviour of the stone tells us about geology and mineralogy but also the way in which the stone was used gives us hints about the hopes and aspirations of the people who originally built and occupied the buildings. The intent of this guide is to instruct on some of the stone sources used and also discuss some of the issues arising from the choice of a particular stone and the way in which it is used and behaves. Most of the buildings mentioned are owned by the University of Toronto but others (York Club and the Ontario Legislature) are not. Site 1. The Rock Located in the Village of Yorkville Park, glacier-dammed lake that covered much this 650 tonne outcrop of the Canadian of the city because the outlet used today shield was disassembled at its natural on the St. Lawrence River was blocked. home near Gravenhurst, transported The old lake shoreline bluffs form a hill south 150 km, and re-assembled in the about 1 km to the north of here. park.

Site 2. Victoria College Designed by William Storm in the Richardson Romanesque style and East side of Victoria College opened in 1892 (H.H. Richardson, 1877 Trinity Church in Boston is the prototype of this style) the exterior of this monumental building consists primarily of red and white sandstone. The white Whirlpool sandstone is probably from Forks of the Credit (or is it limestone? it is hard to reach the 2nd floor). The red Sackville sandstone is from New Brunswick. The presence of muscovite mica flakes on the bedding surfaces in the quarry was noted by Parks (Vol. II, p.65). These mica flakes are apparent on some of the sandstone here and are useful to separate it from other sandstones. The red granite columns are probably from the St George area in southern New Brunswick. Parks (Vol II, p. 110) gives an excellent description of the quarrying techniques and milling operations using the New Brunswick red granites. Similar granite columns are found on a number Granite column at east entrance of Toronto buildings from the 1900's. It is noteworthy that there was a proposal Site 3.

  • The Knox Ottawa Building
    THE KNOX OTTAWA BUILDING Although it looks ancient, the current Knox Church was built in 1932. It is the third building occupied by this congregation since its founding in 1844. It outgrew its first building, and lost its second, on what was then City Hall Square, to expropriation when the Prime Minister, William Lyon Mackenzie King, decided that the National War Memorial would be a centerpiece of the capital. Prime Minister King was a member of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, still situated on Wellington only a few blocks west of Knox’s location at that time, but he took a personal interest in the new building. The distinctive square Norman tower was his suggestion. The architect for Knox was Henry Sproatt. Born in Toronto in 1866, he trained in Europe and New York and was a Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects. Before designing Knox, he had designed many buildings on the University of Toronto campus including Victoria College, Burwash Hall, Hart House, Soldier’s Clarion Tower and the Princess Margaret Hospital. Here in Ottawa he also designed the National Research Council Laboratories on Sussex Street. The rough stonework is local Nepean Sandstone. The dressed stonework around the doors, the copings and the tracery of the windows is of Wallace sandstone from Nova Scotia, and the walls of the sanctuary are lined with Savoniere stone from France. The columns and archways, and the frieze over the elder’s seats in the chancel are of Devon stone, precut and dressed in France then shipped to Canada. Travertine marble, imported from Italy, was used for the floors, bases of the columns pulpit, lectern and elder’s seats – and for the baptismal font, which was cut from a single block.

  • 2669-2673 Lake Shore Boulevard West
    STAFF REPORT ACTION REQUIRED Intention to Designate under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act – 2669-2673 Lake Shore Boulevard West Date: April 20, 2011 Toronto Preservation Board To: Etobicoke York Community Council From: Acting Director, Policy & Research, City Planning Division Wards: Ward 6 – Etobicoke-Lakeshore Reference P:\2011\Cluster B\PLN\HPS\EYCC\May 25 2011\eyHPS02 Number: SUMMARY This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the properties at 2669-2673 Lake Shore Boulevard West (Gardener’s Cottage, Fetherstonhaugh Estate) under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. At its meeting of February 16, 2011, the Etobicoke York Community Council deferred consideration of a report (January 27, 2011) from the Director and Deputy Chief Building Official on a demolition control application to its meeting of May 25, 2011, and requested Heritage Preservation Services to report at that time on the potential heritage value of the building. Following research and evaluation, staff have determined that the properties at 2669- 2673, containing a gardener’s cottage associated with the former Fetherstonhaugh Estate, meet the criteria for municipal designation prescribed by the Province of Ontario for its cultural heritage value. The designation of the properties would enable Council to refuse demolition, control alterations to the sites, and enforce heritage property standards. Staff report for action – 2669-2673 Lake Shore Boulevard West - Intention to Designate 1 RECOMMENDATIONS The City Planning Division recommends that: 1. City Council include the properties at 2669-2673 Lake Shore Boulevard West (Gardener’s Cottage, Fetherstonhaugh Estate) on the City of Toronto Inventory of Heritage Properties.

  • Intention to Designate Under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage
    REPORT FOR ACTION Intention to Designate under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, Alterations to Designated Heritage Properties, and Authority to Enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement - 80 and 84 Queen's Park Date: September 2, 2020 To: Toronto Preservation Board Toronto and East York Community Council From: Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning Wards: Ward 11 - University - Rosedale SUMMARY This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate 80 and 84 Queen's Park under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act and give authority to enter into Heritage Easement Agreement(s) for these properties. This report also recommends that City Council approve the proposed alterations for the heritage properties at 80 and 84 Queen's Park, in connection with a Zoning Amendment Application by the University of Toronto (UofT) to permit the construction of a new 9- storey institutional building for the University's Centre for Civilizations, Cultures and Cities (“CCC”) at 78-90 Queen's Park. The new building would be situated in the interstitial space between Falconer Hall and the Edward Johnson Building. It would be integrated into the back of Falconer Hall with a link to the Edward Johnson Building. The conservation strategy for the heritage properties proposes to retain both the Edward Johnson Building at 80 Queen's Park and Falconer Hall at 84 Queen's Park but the McLaughlin Planetarium at 90 Queen's Park would be demolished. The proposed new 43m high building (including mechanical penthouse) would not affect any of the protected views of Queen's Park and it is setback approximately 36 metres from the Queen's Park frontage in order to lessen its visual impact on this important avenue that links Bloor Street to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario.
