Lennox-designed structure has a domed roof andCorinthian columns on the front, and it is an example ofneoclassical architecture.
The building is currently closed to the public, and it has been in the process of being refurbished, with 17,423 square feet (1,618.6 m2) of space. As of April 2019, the property is for sale.[1]
Next door at197 Yonge Street is another historic building. The gap between the two sites was once theColonial Tavern, which was closed in the 1970s and demolished. The two buildings are located on the east side ofYonge Street, across from theToronto Eaton Centre, and a few feet north of theElgin and Winter Garden Theatres.
205 Yonge was once home to theToronto Historical Board, a city agency that was in charge of protecting historic sites in Toronto. It left the building in 1998 when the agency was revamped intoHeritage Toronto.[2] Heritage Toronto's logo is based on the profile of this building.
