Inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register - Queen Street East - Leslieville Properties

The portion of Queen Street East that passes through Leslieville (bounded by the train tracks at Degrassi Street to the west and Leslie Street to the east) is a historic main street that developed along Kingston Road, a major arterial heading eastward from the Town of York to connect to Kingston and Montreal. The street experienced its first wave of development following the opening of George Leslie's nurseries. Its present day context can be attributed to the rapid period of development that occurred after its annexation by the City of Toronto in the 1880s, and the introduction of transportation and civic infrastructure that facilitated the development of residential subdivisions to the north and south of Queen Street East. Today, Leslieville retains its unique main street character, with heritage properties reflective of its early history as a nursery and farming community, and a distinct streetscape that is emblematic of its later history as an early streetcar suburb and industrial neighbourhood. The listing of non-designated properties with cultural heritage value on the Heritage Register extends interim protection from demolition and provides an opportunity for City Council to determine whether the property warrants conservation through designation under the Ontario Heritage Act should a development or demolition application be submitted. Heritage Impact Assessments (HIA) are required for development applications that affect listed and designated properties. All of the recommended properties meet Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation, which the City also applies when assessing properties for its Heritage Register.
