205 Yonge Street
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
205 Yonge Street was formerly a four-storey Bank of Toronto building built in 1905 and declared as a historical property by the City of Toronto in 1975. The E.J. Lennox structure has a domed roof and Corinthian columns on the front, and is an example of neo-classical architecture. It is currently closed to the public, and is in the process of being refurbished, with 17,423 square feet of space.
Next door at 197 Yonge Street is another historic site. The gap between the two site was once the Colonial Tavern, which was closed in the 1970s and demolished. The two buildings are located on the east side of Yonge Street, across from the Toronto Eaton Centre, and a few feet north of the Elgin and Winter Garden Theatres.
