Crosse and Blackwell Building
Here at the south-east corner of Bathurst Street and Lake Shore Blvd. West stands the impressive Crosse and Blackwell Building. A 1979 Toronto Historical Board plaque attached to the building has this to say:
Established in London, England, in the early 18th century, Crosse and Blackwell Ltd., manufacturers of food products, built this factory and office in 1927, to a design by Chapman and Oxley, Architects and Engineers. It is an impressive example of site planning and factory architecture, uniquely detailed, featuring a stained glass lantern on the hexagonal entrance pavilion. Occupied by several businesses from 1936 until 1950, the building was then acquired by Loblaws Ltd. In 1973 it was taken over by Harbourfront and, in 1979, was restored and became the multicultural media centre and studios of multilingual television.
