Description
Tour participants stand in Berczy Park across from the Beardmore Building on Front Street. The building, along with its neighbours, are associated with the development of Toronto's warehouse district, which followed the filling in of the harbour in 1856. Although earlier plans for the waterfront precinct had included an idyllic residential area with waterfront views and a pedestrian boardwalk, the proximity of the railroads, the harbour wharves and the increased industrial and commercial activity created a busy trade and warehouse district by 1871.
