New Edwin Hotel

New Edwin Hotel, Community housing building in Riverside, Toronto, Canada

The New Edwin Hotel is a three-story brick building located at the corner of Queen Street East and Carroll Street, east of the Don River in Toronto. Today it houses 28 separate housing units designed for senior men aged 55 and older.

Built in 1905, the building originally served railway passengers arriving from the station at the foot of the Don Valley. Its conversion to supported housing marked a turning point as the structure adapted to changing community needs over the decades.

The name "The Edwin" was adopted in 2010, when WoodGreen Community Services opened its First Step to Home program in the former New Edwin Hotel. The building keeps the name of the 1905 railway hotel it once was, and the 28 self-contained units now house men aged 55 and older who were homeless or street-involved.

The building stands at the corner of Queen Street East and Carroll Street, east of the Don River in the Riverside subdistrict of South Riverdale. Streetcar routes run along Queen Street East, and the site is a short walk from the river and its trails. The entrance serves residents of the 28 units, so visitors should arrange contact with WoodGreen Community Services in advance.

The building's lower floor once housed a nightclub during its decades as a rooming house with daily and weekly rates. WoodGreen bought the property on 1 April 2008, and the First Steps To Home program opened in March 2010 with 28 self-contained units for men aged 55 and over.
