HCD Nomination Form

Welcome
to
The Junction
The Junction Heritage Conservation District
About the Nominated District
Has the City identified this as a potential HCD?:
Yes, it is our understanding that the boundaries of the former city of West
Toronto are included in the City’s list of potential sites. The village of West
Toronto Junction evolved into the Town of Toronto Junction and then the
City of West Toronto before it merged with the larger City of Toronto.
The intent of our proposed heritage conservation district is to eventually
encompass a significant section of what is commonly known as The Junction;
an area that captures the character of the original village. The Junction, then
and now, was a mix of social classes, public buildings, various industry and
business enterprises. Therefore our goal is that the Junction HCD will include
residential, commercial, and public properties.
Our proposal is to conserve a segment from the Clendenan Purchase. A
majority of this land was the Keele Estate; lands which extended from what is
now Annette Street to Bloor Street and from Keele Street west to where
Evelyn Avenue is today. The property included the Carlton Race Course, host
to the inaugural Queen’s Plate. The Clendenan lands were purchased in
anticipation of the Junction’s development as a railway centre.
The first phase of our project, entitled “By the Tracks and on the Avenue” runs
through the heart of the Clendenan Purchase (indeed it represents a leg of the
Carlton Race Course). It includes the homes of railway workers along Vine and
McMurray, as well as the stately century homes of High Park Avenue.
Additional phases are defined later in this document.
According to the Master Avenues Map revised July 2010, Dundas Street West
between Dupont Street and Scarlett Road is designated by the City of Toronto
as a “Character Area.” 1 Moreover, the Avenues and Mid-Rise Buildings Study
Report identified The Junction as an area that warrants further heritage analysis. 2
An HCD would formalize a significant segment of Dundas Street West as an
integral component of the Junction’s community.

Have you raised funds to study the area? If so, how much?:
Yes, in consultation with our city councillor we are pursuing Section 37 funds,
and funding has been allocated. However, the amount is unknown at this time,
because the project is before the Ontario Municipal Board.

Reason for Nomination
Why do you think the area should be a heritage conservation district?
(Attach additional pages as necessary)
The Junction has a long, proud history and remains the only one of the original
neighbourhoods of Toronto to have amalgamated with the bigger city with full
city status of its own as the City of West Toronto. It boasts a remarkable and
unique built heritage tradition, much of which is the subject of a West Toronto
Junction annual walking tour sponsored by Heritage Toronto with a website
sponsored by the Trillium Foundation entitled James Ellis, Architect of the Junction,
focusing on the work of this seminal Junction architect.
West Toronto Junction Historical Society (WTJHS), an active participant in the
Junction heritage conservation project, won two Heritage Toronto awards in
2012. Background research for many of the properties in the proposed
Junction HCD already exists in the WTJHS archives.
Preservation has been part of the Junction culture for more than four decades.
As early as 1973, when the first property located at 204 High Park Avenue was
recognized by the City; this iconic building was chosen as the image for our
Junction HCD letterhead and our website. Since then 46 properties, located on
three of the main streets in the Junction, can be found on the Heritage
Inventory Register. 3 (A list of these properties is provided in the Additional
Information section.) There are also many more properties located on
residential streets within the Junction that are listed, and preservation efforts
continue today. The Junction HCD team is aware of a “listing” application
being prepared for a home on Vine Avenue that was the original vineyard
homestead pre-construction of the railway homes.
Within the proposed boundary for the Junction HCD presented in this
application, there are a total of 73 properties on the Heritage Inventory
Register. Together these properties represent 63% of the entire Ward 13
inventory (if the 15 structures located within High Park are excluded from the
list). It would be wonderful to have all of these properties recognized within a
designated HCD.
Ideally, the Junction HCD should transcend the contemporary Ward 13 border.
It should extend eastward beyond Keele Street into Ward 14 and continue to
follow the curve of the train tracks south to Humberside Avenue. The West

Bend Community Association (WBCA) often collaborated with the Junction
Residents Association (JRA) on joint projects. Prior to the formation of the
Junction HCD Committee, the WBCA expressed an interest in collaborating
with the JRA on development and heritage preservation. A supplementary list
of the heritage properties located in Ward 14 that would be included in a
combined Junction conservation district is provided in the Additional
Information section. If this larger area is approved, the total number of
heritage properties within the amalgamated Junction HCD increases to 105.
For our preliminary purposes, the proposed Junction Heritage Conservation
District boundaries are outlined by a green line on the attached series of five
maps. The red coloured properties are designated under Part IV of the Ontario
Heritage Act and blue coloured properties are listed on the register.
There is distinct heritage in the Junction which distinguishes it from other areas
of the cosmopolitan City of Toronto. It is an area in which architecture
significantly contributes to the neighbourhood’s identity. The Junction was an
independent, mixed-income, industrial suburb of Toronto with fortunes heavily
tied to the railroad industry. It is noted for many Victorian and Edwardian
homes. Brick is so much a part of our identity that when the new Heintzman
Place condo was built, local residents insisted that it be brick instead of the
glass tower design that is popular in the rest of the city. Local brick features in
the award-winning poetry of Glen Downie.
Part of what makes the Junction special, is that its history as a small city means
it still looks like a microcosm of a city. In addition to the industry, commercial
strip, and public buildings, it has (or had) mansions, middle-class housing, and
workers’ housing. We believe that’s part of its identity, and the character of the
area evokes this independence.
We have interest in the HCD project from the business community, as
evidenced by the tributes to neighbourhood heritage expressed by the Junction
Business Improvement Area (BIA) through their members and in their
marketing materials; the active involvement of business owners in events with
the local residents’ associations; and through the actions of many main street
owners, who have properties already listed in the Heritage Inventory Register,
which ensured much of the original architecture is intact for the enjoyment of
all today and in the future.
However, this eclectic and fine grain main street fabric is threatened by a
pending application from a developer, who is potentially seeking to use the
5
Mid-rise guidelines for Avenues to over-develop the northwest corner of Pacific
Avenue on Dundas Street West. According to the Mid-rise design
performance standards “new mid-rise buildings in Character Areas that have a
fine grain, main street fabric should be designed to reflect a similar rhythm of
entrances and multiple retail units.” 4 Moreover, these buildings “should
maintain a consistent cornice line for the first step-back by establishing a
‘datum line’ or an average of the existing cornice line. Additional ‘context
sensitive’ design and massing guidelines should be considered for development
in Character Areas.” 5 Unfortunately, the Mid-rise guidelines, if fully
implemented along this corridor without respecting the scale and special
architectural features of the character area performance standards, would
diminish the value of the previous conservation efforts and isolate the various
short-blocks of residential streets to the north of Dundas Street West and the
single streets, such as Vine Avenue and Maria Street before the train tracks.
We also have enthusiastic community support for an HCD from residents.
Heritage conservation is often a topic of discussion at the Junction Residents
Association (JRA) meetings, and their members have taken action to ensure
developers respect the neighbourhood heritage traditions. The Junction HCD
team is also aware of a keen interest in establishing a heritage district from
residents who may not be members of the JRA.
Indeed support for a Junction HCD is so high that our challenge has been
determining its boundaries, simply because everyone wants to be included and
many residents identify as “living in the Junction” even though they actually
belong to other resident associations adjacent to the JRA, such as the West
Bend Community Association (located on the east side of Keele Street), the
High Park and Bloor West Village residents’ associations (located south of
Humberside Avenue and Annette Street respectively). When the boundaries
for the JRA were defined several years ago, many “Junction” residents were
surprised and displeased to learn they were not eligible JRA members.

General history of the area: (Attach additional pages as necessary)
The Junction began as the meeting point of First Nations trails. Later it was
the site of a largely forgotten moment in the Upper Canada Rebellion when
rebel leader William Lyon Mackenzie robbed the Royal Mail outside the
Peacock Tavern at the intersection of Dundas Street West, Annette Street,
Dupont Street and the old Weston Road.
A key part of the area we are working to designate formed the basis of the
Keele property which was the site of the Carlton Race Course where the first
three runnings of the Queen’s Plate were held in 1860, 1861 and 1862. Later,
lawyer Daniel Webster Clendenan, the Junction’s founding father -- aware that
the Junction, already a railway centre, was going to come alive when the CPR
brought its Ontario and Quebec lines into the Junction after the last spike
completed the rail link from coast to coast -- bought up the race course and laid
out a town.
The town prospered and grew, becoming a major repair yard for the CPR and
attracting a fascinating collection of people and industries. The Heintzman
piano factory turned out Canadian equivalents of Steinway, and the Union
Stockyards became the biggest cattle market in North America. The Canadian
Cycle and Motor Company (CCM), manufacturers of bicycles, sports
equipment, and Canada’s answer to the Rolls Royce – the celebrated Russell A,
“the thoroughly Canadian Car, made with Canadian materials, Canadian labour
and Canadian capital.” 6 On 5 June 2013, Canada Post recognized CCM
contributions to motorcycle design and manufacturing with a commemorative
postage stamp and special edition lithograph.
Amongst the Junction’s luminaries were Doctor Minerva Reid, a founder of
both Women’s College and Sunnybrook Hospitals, the remarkable Dr. Jackson
whose Roman Meal Cereal ushered in the health food era, the Junction’s Chief
of Police, former North West Policeman Josiah Royce and journalist A.B. Rice
who covered the Junction for sixty years.
Perhaps the most unusual factor in the Junction’s story is the decision by the
city leaders to ban the sale of alcohol for almost a hundred years. True to its
original nature, the Junction replaced the hotels that had sold alcohol with
theatres and for many years in the twentieth century it was home to a thriving
theatre district. Today the theatres have gone, but a rejuvenated Dundas Street

West strip, an active historical society, residents’ and business associations keep
the area very much alive. In 2008, the Junction celebrated the Centennial of
the City of West Toronto with a year of historical walking tours, the Local
Option Arts Awards and a historically themed Junction Arts Festival.
8
General character of the area: (Attach additional pages as necessary)
The Junction has always been a diverse mix of cultures and architectural styles.
Within the greater perimeters of the City of West Toronto were fine examples
of Catholic and Protestant Churches but the community is also home to
Congregation Knesseth Israel, better known as the Junction Shul. In 2011, the
Junction Shul celebrated its centennial and remains the oldest purpose built
synagogue in Ontario. The city’s first mosque was housed here and the area
has been home to the largest Maltese community outside of Malta.
The Junction’s commercial, main street Dundas Street West between Dupont
Street and Runnymede Road is thriving; and its collection of public buildings
along Annette Street include architectural marvels, such as Victoria Royce
Presbyterian, the Annette Street Library, the Masonic Hall, St. Cecelia’s
Catholic and a Baptist church, which either remain in their original form or
have been lovingly restructured as condominium residences that retain their
original character. There are several schools and numerous clubs all of which
retain the unique personality and identity of the Junction.
The natural topography of the area has created streets which curve instead of
following a grid pattern. There were rivers, now underground, which flowed
through the Junction, thereby shaping the local ravines. This has actually
affected local development -- for example: Ravina Gardens and Lithuania Park,
the path of numerous streets such as Laws Street, Medland Crescent, and
Indian Grove, and the location of Humberside Collegiate.
Another key element of the Junction is its “main street” and Dundas Street
West is proving to be an excellent example of one that is once again
prospering. New neighbourhoods tend not to have these, since that design fell
out of favour in the mid-twentieth century when it became expected that
people would drive further. However, people now favour communities with
walk-able main streets and the ability to shop locally, hence main streets can
drive a neighbourhood’s economic fortunes. This community is fortunate to
have a main street with a sense of heritage in its identity. The streetscape is
pedestrian friendly and a “human scale” built form that is fine grain commercial
retail space at ground level with apartments or office space above, and the
height of these buildings is two and three stories, and many have decorative
elements (pediments) above windows and along the cornice lines. One of the
unique attributes is the buildings located at the street corners have a curved
façade. The community ensured this feature was maintained when the old
Hardware shop was rebuilt at the corner of Quebec Avenue (now a Starbucks).
9
Historically, the Junction’s stretch of Dundas Street West was once considered
“the best retail strip” in southern Ontario.
The Junction’s main commercial strip along Dundas Street West has at least 27
properties that are already listed on the City of Toronto Heritage Register. An
inventory of the “listed” and “designated” properties is attached.
As previously noted in the Reason for Nomination section, the Junction has
many other listed heritage buildings, distinct architecture and local landmarks.
The surrounding residential area is primarily compact single family dwellings -detached Edwardian houses and Victorian semi-detached houses on deep lots - but mid-rise apartments and other built forms do exist. Key attributes of
these homes is a front-yard set-back that provides green open space between
the sidewalk and the house, and the lack of garages or parking at the front of
the house. Even the High Park mansions with a lot size of fifty-feet do not
have garages at the front of the house that is often observed in a suburban
locale. Junction houses were typically constructed of brick and windows were
inset or framed by the brick, which is distinctive from the modern glass panes
that span the height from floor to ceiling and very little brick is visible.

Additional Information
The West Toronto Junction Historical Society (WTJHS) and the Junction
Residents Association (JRA) hosted a community meeting on 18 April 2011
with Catherine Nasmith, a well-respected preservation architect. The concept
of establishing a heritage conservation district was well-received by the
audience of residents and business owners.
Our municipal councillor, Sarah Doucette, also attended the April 18th meeting
and has been supportive of this project.
An enthusiastic team of volunteers formed the Junction HCD Committee as a
result of the positive community and political response. The Committee
includes representatives of the WTJHS, JRA, and members of the residential
community.
The Committee also secured the services of Catherine Nasmith to advise us
during the preparation of this nomination application, conduct the HCD Study
and prepare our HCD Plan.
The Committee met several times during 2011, 2012, and 2013 to consult and
learn more about the heritage conservation process, create a website, determine
an appropriate HCD boundary and segment the study area into manageable
phases of contiguous properties, and to prepare this nomination application.
In general, the CPR train tracks form the northern border; the west-side of
Keele Street, consistent with the arbitrary Ward 13 boundary, would be an
eastern border; the east-side of Runnymede Road would be the western border;
and the southern border follows the north-side of Annette Street or the northside of Humberside Avenue, except for High Park Avenue, which extends
southward to encompass the north-side of Glenlake Avenue.
However, as noted earlier, since Keele Street has become a contemporary
dividing-line that bisects the Junction, that partition should be ignored to
establish a cohesive heritage district.
Further dialogue with Preservation Services and the all-inclusive Junction
community will finalize the heritage district boundaries.
Our proposed study plan includes the following phases:
11
a) both sides of High Park Avenue from Annette Street to Dundas Street
West; both sides of McMurray Avenue and the south-side of Vine Avenue
to Pacific Avenue; both sides of Pacific Avenue from Vine Avenue to
Dundas Street West; and
the commercial, main street businesses along Dundas Street West between
Pacific Avenue and McMurray Avenue.
b) both sides of Annette Street from Keele Street to Evelyn Avenue.
c) both sides of High Park Avenue from Annette Street to Glenlake Avenue;
and
the commercial, main street businesses along both sides of Dundas Street
West between Pacific Avenue and Keele Street.
d) residential segment to be determined; and
the commercial, main street businesses along both sides of Dundas Street
West between McMurray Avenue and St. John’s Road.
e) to be determined
f) and so on, until our ambitious vision is achieved
The combined Junction heritage district would become the largest HCD in the
City of Toronto with an area of approximately 1.64 square kilometres and more
than 2750 properties on 35 streets.
The Junction HCD committee chair presented an update about the status of
the nomination application to the WTJHS on 3 April 2014. Similar
presentations are scheduled for the JRA on 8 May 2014; the Junction BIA on
13 May 2014; and the WBCA on 21 May 2014.

James Ellis: Architect of the Junction
James Ellis was the premier architect of the
Junction. His work defined the railway town: its
schools, houses of worship, homes and civic
buildings. The West Toronto Junction Historical
Society tour covers the work of this remarkable
architect, reflecting the social fabric of the Junction
– visiting buildings he designed, knew, and
frequented.

For many years, the building on left-hand corner with the tower was the Junction’s customs
house and main post office; it served as a port of entry where Junction businesses could clear
their goods. Today the site is a parking lot beside the Bank of Montreal.
A balustrade above the cornice of the adjacent building is visible; it was retained in the
design of the existing Bank of Montreal building. (View the contemporary photo on the
