A 2009 Heritage Toronto plaque is located here at 20 Richmond Street East on the north side between Yonge and Victoria streets. This is what it says:

Plaque coordinates: 43.651915 -79.378273

Once one of Toronto's grandest office buildings, this landmark served as the headquarters of the Confederation Life Association until 1955. Plans for the building arose from an international competition won by Knox, Elliot and Jarvis, architects. The design incorporates Romanesque and French Gothic architectural elements, and originally featured decorative pinnacles and a taller central tower with elaborate stone tracery. Revitalized in the early 1980s, the building remains an important part of Toronto's architectural heritage.
