Toronto Board of Trade Building, 1890s skyscraper at Front Street East and Yonge Street, Toronto, Canada.
The Toronto Board of Trade Building stood seven stories tall with Gothic and Romanesque elements, featuring a rounded front corner and terracotta roofing.
Built in 1892, the structure underwent partial collapse during construction, leading to the replacement of James & James architects with Edward A. Kent from Buffalo.
The building represented the Toronto business community's aspirations, marking a shift toward American architectural influences in Canadian commercial buildings.
The structure housed the Toronto Board of Trade until 1914 and later became the headquarters for the Toronto Transit Commission in the 1920s.
The construction budget doubled from initial estimates to 400,000 dollars, resulting in marble floors and carved stone pillars flanking wooden entrance doors.
