Duncan House

257 Adelaide Street West, Toronto

Architectural
Overview

Built in 1910 as a manufacturing building during King-Spadina's industrial peak, Duncan House takes its name from Duncan Street, the spine of the early 20th-century factory and warehouse district that defines this section of downtown Toronto.

The six-and-a-half-storey building combines its original brick masonry construction with a sympathetic two-storey addition completed around 1990. Listed on the City of Toronto Heritage Register in 2017 and contributing to the King-Spadina Heritage Conservation District, the property offers Class I creative workspace within walking distance of the Financial District, the Theatre District, and the King West restaurant corridor.
