Interventions to Protect
Ten Editions Bookstore, 1885
Threatened by proposed construction of 23-storey University of Toronto student residence.
ACO Toronto backed Harbord Village and Huron Sussex Residents’ Associations’ defence of this entrance building to Harbord Village Heritage Conservation District that has been home, since 1984, to Ten Editions bookshop. Recommended for designation under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act.
As a result of mediation at the Ontario Municipal Board, façade of 698 Spadina (building on left) will be incorporated into the podium of the residence but, regrettably, it will not contain a bookshop.
