From the City's report regarding the inclusion of this address on the Heritage Registry:
"Located on the southeast corner of Eastbourne Avenue, the property at 185 Eglinton Avenue West contains a two-storey commercial building that was first recorded in the City Directory in 1929.

The property at 185 Eglinton Avenue West 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 storefront with residential or commercial units in the upper floor, and the modest classical detailing with the brick band course typical of those dating to the interwar era in North Toronto.

Contextually, the property at 185 Eglinton Avenue West is valued for the role of the commercial building in defining, supporting and maintaining the historical mid-rise streetscape character of the thoroughfare west of Yonge Street as a prominent “Main Street” in North Toronto. The building at 185 Eglinton Avenue West is historically, visually and physically linked to its setting anchoring the southeast corner of Eastbourne Avenue at the west end of a contiguous row of commercial buildings with a shared setback in the block between Lascelles Boulevard and Eastbourne Avenue."
