Burroughes Building, Commercial building in Queen Street West, Toronto, Canada

The Burroughes Building stands as the tallest structure on Queen Street West, featuring restored vintage elevators and original wooden architectural details throughout its six floors.

The F.C. Burroughes Furniture Company constructed this department store in 1907, with an eastern expansion added in 1910 to create their flagship retail location.

The sixth floor and rooftop terrace serve as exhibition spaces for art shows, corporate gatherings, and events during the Toronto International Film Festival.

Visitors can access retail stores on the first two floors, while the middle levels contain office spaces available for commercial tenants.

The building maintains its original painted wall mural from the early 1900s, which remained intact despite the structural addition to the eastern side.
