Sterling Tower, Art Deco skyscraper on Bay Street, Toronto, Canada.
The Sterling Tower rises 21 floors with a limestone and granite facade featuring geometric patterns and vertical lines characteristic of 1920s architecture.
Completed in 1928 by architects Chapman and Oxley, the Sterling Tower held the position of Toronto's highest structure until the Royal York Hotel surpassed it in 1929.
The building exemplifies the architectural transformation of Toronto during the 1920s construction boom, when the city established its first major commercial district.
Four elevators serve the building's 21 floors, connecting ground level facilities to upper level office spaces through the 90-meter vertical structure.
The Toronto City Council designated Sterling Tower as a Heritage Property in 1976, recognizing its role in shaping the early development of Bay Street.
