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

Staff have reviewed all of the nominations and identified that two important collections of properties that merited evaluation would be recommended for inclusion on the Register at this time, with the balance of the nominations to be reviewed in a future phase. The recommended six properties are an important part of the Queen Street East streetscape and include a collection of some of the earliest surviving residential buildings in the neighbourhood, along with a collection of single and double-duplex, residential typology buildings according to designs by Price Brothers that are unique to the Beaches area. The properties being recommended for inclusion on the Heritage Register are contained in Recommendation 1 of this report. All of the recommended properties have been researched and evaluated by staff using the criteria prescribed by the Province in Regulation 9/06 and all of the properties meet one or more of the provincial criteria for determining cultural heritage value or interest for designation under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act, which the City applies when assessing properties for inclusion on the City's Heritage Register. The remaining outstanding nominations will be processed systematically along Queen Street East as part of the City's Heritage Survey program or on a case by case basis as the need arises. Properties on the Heritage Register will be conserved and maintained in accordance with the Official Plan Heritage Policies.
