Lillian Massey Building, Heritage university building at Queens Park, Toronto, Canada

The Lillian Massey Building features limestone facades with columns topped by Ionic capitals at the intersection of Queens Park and Bloor Street.

Constructed between 1908 and 1912, the building initially served the University of Toronto Household Science program under the vision of Lillian Massey Treble.

The structure represents early 20th-century educational architecture and maintains the Department of Classics and Centre for Medieval Studies within its halls.

Located at 153 Bloor Street West, the building combines academic spaces with commercial areas, including previous retail operations on the ground floor.

An original underground swimming pool was transformed into retail space through the addition of a false floor for merchandise display.
