Art Deco Bronze Doors

Photos and transcription by contributor Wayne Adam - May, 2009

Here at 357 Bay Street, just north of Temperance Street, are a set of bronze doors. A nearby plaque has this to say:

The Art Deco bronze doors at the entranceway to this building originally graced the main entrance of the Toronto Star building at 80 King St. W. from 1929 to 1971. When the Star relocated, the doors were donated to the Royal Ontario Museum. In 1991, they were presented to the newly-renovated 357 Bay St. Building for public display.
