The City of Toronto issued a Notice of Intention to Designate the property at 276 Forest Hill Road under the Ontario Heritage Act.
The property owners objected, arguing the property did not meet the prescribed criteria and the designation was in bad faith.
The Conservation Review Board held a hearing to evaluate the property's cultural heritage value.
The Board found the property is a fine representative example of the Modern Georgian style and reflects the work of the significant architectural partnership of Allward and Gouinlock.
The Board recommended that City Council designate the property.
