324 Old Yonge Street is among the original seven grand mansions situated in an exclusive enclave that was constructed on the west side of Old Yonge Street in York Mills backing onto Yonge Street and across from St Andrew's Estate and Golf Course (1927) and north of St John's Anglican Church (1843). These elaborate mansions are defined by lots with large frontages and setbacks, circular driveways, and expansive landscaped grounds. Three of these properties have been demolished and three are listed or designated on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. Following further research and evaluation, it has been determined that 324 Old Yonge Street meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, which the City of Toronto also applies when evaluating properties for its Heritage Register. Properties on the Heritage Register will be conserved and maintained in accordance with the Official Plan Heritage Policies. A Committee of Adjustment Application for Consent was submitted on May 19, 2020 and is currently under review.
