THE JUNCTION
A Walking Tour
|
Commercial block,
396 Pacific Ave.
1960,
Winston & Associates, architects
T.A.C. visits the best Edwardian commercial district
in Toronto: Dundas St. West in the Junction. The area
is home to the finest extant group of branch banks
in the city and much more — lofty commercial blocks
and retail buildings from a range of eras. As you
can see from this well-utilized, buff brick and curtain walled saw-tooth
commercial row, the buildings of interest are by no
means limited to the old or the lofty. Excellent or
curious Victorian, Deco and Modern are also highlighted.
The tour is free. The general public is welcome.
The best TTC access is the Junction bus #40 “West” from Dundas West subway station.
