Canadian Pacific Building, Heritage high-rise building on Yonge Street, Toronto, Canada.
The Canadian Pacific Building stands 15 floors tall with Indiana limestone cladding, granite base, and Renaissance Revival architectural elements throughout its exterior design.
Constructed in 1913 by Darling and Pearson architects, this structure marked its place as the highest building across Canada and the British Empire at that time.
The building represents a departure from Canadian Pacific Railway's previous architectural preferences, incorporating Edwardian and Beaux-Arts design principles in downtown Toronto.
The ground floor contains a two-story marble lobby, while the upper levels provide office spaces with three elevators serving the building's occupants.
The original cream enamel terra-cotta exterior, manufactured by Northwestern Terra Cotta Company of Chicago, required complete replacement with limestone in 1929.
