Description
Building and Additions 1916-1939 This landmark industrial building was designed by Chicago architect Max Dunning and the Toronto firm of Burke Horwood and White. In later years matching additions were built to the north. Originally serving as a warehouse manufacturing and administrative building for the Robert Simpson Co. mail-order business it also became the first headquarters of Simpsons-Sears (later Sears Canada) in 1952. In the late 1990s the building was converted to residential lofts.
Designated under the Ontario Heritage Act 1997.
