23 & 25 Hurontario Street Tall, two-storey, six bay, red brick with classical influences (c. 1910). Ground Floor Almost entirely of glass, set within outer piers presumably of brick, now clad with tiles below and plywood pilasters above. Very deep signage fascia (of vertical, V-jointed boards) may conceal older glazing units. Modest, wooden cornice caps ground floor. Second Floor Six, paired, square-headed windows, presently with wooden sash windows (behind metal storms), and with wooden transom windows (and metal storms) above. Brick piers between rise from split-faced, stone sills to deep, squared rubble, stone lintels. Entablature Unusual entablature steps forward throughout central width of building, with small, profiled, metal cornice between corbelled brick architrave and frieze, and with delicate, dentilled and modillioned metal cornice above. Parapet Built of red brick, extending between brick piers at either side, and flashed with galvanized sheet metal. Note that LH pier is curiously large that RH pier, suggesting that possibly parapet and RH pier have been reduced in height. |
