commercial warehouse
yes
This property’s contribution lies in its age (1855); its historic association with former mayor John Hutchison; its prominent location across from Berczy Park and on the original Court House Reserve of the Town of York; and its role in the economic intensification of the District in the late 19th century. The structure also contributes to the physical character of the District through its tripartite design, its materiality (red brickwork with stone detailing), its expressed cornice and its glazed storefront with recessed entrances, attributes which are shared with the adjacent row of structures and which characterize the commercial warehouse typology within the District.

landmark
yes
This property’s contribution lies in its role in the economic intensification of the District in the late 19th century; its historic associations with the Gooderham family and architect David Roberts Jr.; and its status as a city-wide landmark building and anchor of the southwest corner of the District. The structure also contributes to the physical value of the District through its distinctive Romanesque Revival architecture with Gothic Revival influences; its prominent siting and creative use of the lot at the confluence of Front Street East with Wellington Street East; and its position as a view terminus when looking west along Front Street East, as well as when looking east at the trompe l'oeil mural through Berczy Park.
