299 Queen Street West, Heritage building and media center in Queen Street West, Toronto, Canada

The five-story structure features Gothic Revival architecture with white terra cotta cladding covering three main facades and medieval-inspired ornamental details throughout its exterior.

Built in 1913 by Burke, Horwood and White architects, the building initially served as Methodist Church offices before transforming into the CHUM media headquarters in 1987.

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 of the building contains audio and video capabilities, making it possible to conduct broadcasts and recordings from multiple locations including outdoor spaces.

The structure incorporates decorative elements such as grotesque carvings of readers and scribes along the second horizontal band and elaborate coffered ceilings in the entrance foyer.
