This 2016 Heritage Toronto plaque can be found to the right of the main door on this building on the southwest corner of Markham and London streets, a block north of Bloor Street West. Here's what it says:

Designed by the Office of the City Architect under the management of Robert McCallum, this Edwardian Classical-style building was constructed as Police Station No. 11 serving the area bounded by St. George, Christie, and College Streets, and by St. Clair Avenue West. In 1975, the police station became an ambulance station that included training and administration facilities for paramedics. The City of Toronto ambulance service headquarters was located here until 1981.

I have fond memories of this building. As a child I would visit my grandparents Dora and Wallace Darby who lived on Palmerston Ave. just a block away. My grandfather and I would go over to visit the horses that were then housed in the stables at the back of the building.
