Consumer's Gas Building, 1983
Description
In 1852 the Consumer's Gas Company of Toronto established its new head office building on this site in the prestigious financial district of the city. Expansion to the north in 1876 added a second building at 19 Toronto Street designed in the renaissance style by architect David B. Dick whose later alterations in 1899 unified the facades of both buildings. The company remained in this location for 125 years. Renovations undertaken by Stone and Kohn Architects for Counsel Trust Company were completed in 1983. Toronto Historical Board 1983
