As the city filed it

This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the property at 100 Simcoe Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. The property was included on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register on March 9, 2017. Located on the west side of Simcoe Street between Pearl and Adelaide streets in the King-Spadina neighbourhood, the property contains an early-20th century industrial complex with Edwardian Classical styling that was constructed in two phases and originally occupied by Rolph and Clark Limited (forerunners to Rolph-Clark-Stone Limited), lithographers, graphic designers and stationery manufacturers.

In its setting with the neighbouring heritage buildings on King, Adelaide, Duncan and Pearl streets, the Rolph and Clark Limited Building anchors the eastern area of King-Spadina. Following further research and evaluation, it has been determined that the property meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, which sets out the criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, for its design/physical, historical/associative and contextual value. The Province and the City's policies seek the conservation of cultural heritage resources. Designation supports conservation as it enables City Council to review alterations to the site, enforce heritage property standards and maintenance, and refuse demolition.
