108 Hurontario Street Two-storey, (sand-blasted) red-brick building, reconstructed at ground floor, and with decorative brickwork at wall-head, and with buff-brick north (lane) elevation (c. 1890). Ground Floor Re-clad in red brick built off steel plates, with stone sills, concealed steel angles at apertures and no wooden trim, thus bearing no relationship to local, period shop-fronts. Back-lit sign floats in upper masonry and crude flashing caps rebuilt area. Modern door to LH side (to upper floor) is set within wider original wooden frame. Second Floor Pilasters divide sand-blasted, façade into three unequal bays, all with segmental-arch apertures and original 1/1 windows, paired at LH and central bays. Windows have cast-stone sills, decorated wooden spandrels, and voussoirs and hood-mouldings drop at upper jambs to minor corbelling. Machicolations bring wall-plane out to face of pilasters. Parapet Unornamented parapet is built off double, dog-toothed course. Modest piers corbel out above pilasters to extend through parapet, which is capped by clumsy metal flashing. North Elevation Elevation to lane is of buff brick, with segmental arches over ground-floor, single-pane replacement windows and original 2/2 windows above; all in reasonable repair.
