As the city filed it
This report recommends that City Council include the property at 518 Church Street on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register for its cultural heritage value. Located on the southwest corner of Church Street and Maitland Street, the property at 518 Church Street comprises a three-storey brick building, originally constructed as part of a row of six residences (508-518 Church Street) in c.1856-1858. It was converted to commercial use by the late-19th century, initially as a grocery and later as a restaurant.

The property has evolved physically in its 160-year history, including the loss of the adjacent residential units of the historic row (now a parking lot). The other surviving units are located at 508 and 510 Church Street. Situated within the centre of the Church and Wellesley Village, the subject property is important in defining the area's character. Following research and evaluation, it has been determined that 518 Church 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. The property at 518 Church Street is significant due to its design/physical and contextual value. Properties on the Heritage Register will be conserved and maintained in accordance with the Official Plan Heritage Policies.
