Toronto Tourism Magazine 2009 - (Page 36) Queen’s Quay Terminal Once a cold-storage facility for freighters moored in the harbour, the Toronto Terminal Warehouse, as it was then called, was built in 1926.

First lovingly restored and then effectively repurposed, they maintain their relevance — even now, as the city celebrates its 175th anniversary and the modern-day metropolis teems around them. Whether a museum or a market, these are buildings bustling with activity, brimming with life. Here is what heritage architecture looks like today.
