Toronto Club
Exterior Restoration
Project Date of Completion: December 31, 2021
The Toronto Club, located at 107 Wellington Street West in the old City of Toronto, is a building designated under the Ontario Heritage Act as being of architectural heritage significance. Influenced by Italian Renaissance palazzi, the original 1889 building was designed by architect Frank Darling. Numerous additions to the original building have occurred over the last century. However, many of the building’s components had begun to fail with age. The essence of the project was to stabilize the walls and cornice, improve roof drainage and restore lost details of ironwork, restore the slate roof and chimney caps, and re-establish the original modest polychromy of the building.
