From the City's report regarding the inclusion of these addresses on the Heritage Registry:
"Located on the northwest corner of Redpath Avenue, the adjoining properties at 174 and 180 Eglinton Avenue East contain a pair of two-storey commercial buildings dating to 1925 according to the City Directory.

The properties at 174 and 180 Eglinton Avenue East have cultural heritage value for the design of the commercial buildings as representative examples of “Main Street Rows” identified by the two-storey scale, the glazed commercial storefronts with residential or commercial units in the upper floor, and the modest classical detailing with the dentilled cornices typical of those dating to the interwar era in North Toronto.

Contextually, the properties at 174 and 180 Eglinton Avenue East are valued for the role of the commercial buildings in defining, supporting and maintaining the historical mid- rise streetscape character of the thoroughfare east of Yonge Street as a prominent “Main Street” in North Toronto. The buildings at 174 and 180 Eglinton Avenue East are historically, visually and physically linked to their setting on the northwest corner of Redpath Avenue where they are part of a contiguous row of commercial buildings with a shared setback."
