Confederation Life Building Heritage Property Plaque, 2009
Description
1892
Once one of Toronto's grandest office buildings this landmark served as the headquarters of the Confederation Life Association until 1955. Plans for the building arose from an international competition won by Knox Elliot and Jarvis architects. The design incorporates Romanesque and French Gothic architectural elements and originally featured decorative pinnacles and a taller central tower with elaborate stone tracery. Revitalized in the early 1980s the building remains an important part of Toronto's architectural Heritage.
Designated under the Ontario Heritage Act 1975
