OTHER IDENTIFICATION
Notes:
From the City's report regarding the inclusion of these properties on the Heritage Registry:
"The properties at 524 and 526 Eglinton Avenue West 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 corbelled brickwork typical of those dating to the interwar era in North Toronto.

Contextually, the properties at 524 and 526 Eglinton Avenue West are valued for the role of the commercial buildings 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 buildings at 524 and 526 Eglinton Avenue West are historically, visually and physically linked to their setting anchoring the northwest corner of Heddington Avenue at the east end of a contiguous row of commercial buildings with a shared setback in the block between Heddington Avenue and Castlewood Road."
