Interventions to Protect

Ten Editions Bookstore, 1885

BRANCH:
Toronto
ADDRESS:
698 Spadina Avenue
Toronto ON
M5S 2T1
UPDATED:
October 21, 2021

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.
