OTHER IDENTIFICATION
Notes:
From the City's report regarding the inclusion of this property on the Heritage Registry:
"The property at 1613 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, glazed commercial storefront with residential or commercial units in the upper floor, and the simplified Modernist detailing with the horizontal lines and lack of other ornamentation typical of those dating to the World War II era in North Toronto and Leaside. The building is particularly distinguished by its breadth and the stone surround on the entrance to the upper storey.

Contextually, the property at 1613 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 1613 Bayview Avenue is historically, visually and physically linked to its setting on the east side of the street where it is part of a contiguous row of commercial buildings with a shared setback in the extended block between Millwood Road and Fleming Crescent."
