McLaughlin Motor Car Showroom, Automotive dealership building in Bay Street, Toronto, Canada
The building features Gothic Revival architecture with a grand facade that extends across multiple stories, incorporating ornate stone detailing and large display windows.
General Motors Corporation of Canada commissioned this structure in 1925 after merging with Oshawa's McLaughlin Motor Car Company, marking a new era in Canadian automotive retail.
The structure represents the early development of automotive commerce in Toronto, functioning as one of the first purpose-built car showrooms in the city.
The building maintains its original exterior while housing modern facilities, including a seven-level underground parking garage beneath the current Burano condominium development.
The entire historic facade was temporarily removed and stored during construction before being precisely reconstructed to preserve its architectural elements.
