Description
This fine example of industrial architecture incorporates the 1874 factory built at Duke (Adelaide) and Frederick Streets by Christie Brown and Co. the largest biscuit manufacturer in Canada. The original three-storey building greatly enlarged and altered over the years was occupied in 1953 by William Coutts Co. manufacturers of greeting cards and paper products. George Brown College of Applied Arts and Technology founded in 1968 acquired this complex in 1971. In 1974-5 the interior was rebuilt within the original exterior walls where the College now provides diverse educational programmes for the community.?
