On Yonge Street near the corner with Price Street can be found this 2011 Heritage Toronto plaque. Here's what it says:
Coordinates: 43.680089 -79.390663 |

This four-unit block was built in the Italianate commercial style by William J. Bromley, contractor. Decorative brickwork accents the roofline's pressed-metal cornice and frames the different window shapes. The first occupants included a boot and shoe store, a tinsmith, a provision shop, and a dairy.
