299 Queen Street West, Heritage building and media center in Queen Street West, Toronto, Canada
299 Queen Street West is a five-story commercial property in Toronto with Gothic Revival architecture and white terra cotta cladding on three main facades. The exterior displays medieval-inspired decorative stonework and carved figures integrated into the building's surface.
The property was completed in 1913 by architects Burke, Horwood and White as headquarters for the Methodist Church administration. It was converted to a media facility in 1987 and served as a broadcasting center for decades.
The building earned recognition from the Ontario Association of Architects for its role in establishing Queen Street West as Toronto's cultural and media corridor.
Every section contains audio and video equipment, including outdoor areas. Visitors can observe the architecture and ornamental details from the street.
The second horizontal stone band displays grotesques of readers and scribes carved into the facade. The entrance foyer contains a coffered ceiling with ornamental patterns.
