OTHER IDENTIFICATION
Notes:
Included on the Heritage Register by City Council on October 2, 2017. Midtown in Focus - Phase 1

From the City's report regarding the property's inclusion on the Heritage Registry:
"The property at 1515 Bayview Avenue has cultural heritage value for the design of the commercial building as a representative example of a “Main Street Row” identified by the two-storey scale, the glazed commercial storefronts with residential or commercial units in the upper floor, and the simplified Modernist detailing with the horizontal lines and lack of ornamentation typical of those dating to the World War II era.

Contextually, the property at 1515 Bayview Avenue is valued for the role of the commercial building in defining, supporting and maintaining the historical mid-rise streetscape character of the thoroughfare between Millwood Road and Eglinton Avenue East as the “Main Street” connecting the communities of North Toronto and Leaside. The building at 1515 Bayview Avenue is historically, visually and physically linked to its setting on the northeast corner of Millwood Road where it anchors the south end of a contiguous row of commercial buildings with a shared setback in the extended block between Millwood Road and Fleming Crescent."
