Description
The Broadview is a landmark building at the northwest corner of Queen and Broadview. The building was completed in 1891-1892 for oilman and soap maker Archibald Dingman. At one time, it stood taller than any other office building east of the Don River. It was a major social gathering spot for the city’s developing east end. In 1907, Thomas J. Edward purchased the building and converted it into the New Broadview Hotel.
