The Medical Arts Building 1929

Attached to the wall just to the right of the main entrance of this building here on the northwest corner of Bloor Street and St. George Street is this 2008 Heritage Toronto plaque. Here's what it tells us:

Plaque coordinates: 43.66785 -79.40004

This ten-storey building was constructed by a consortium of doctors to provide facilities for the medical profession, and was a landmark redevelopment of a formerly residential section of Bloor Street. Designed in a Georgian-influenced style by Marani, Lawson and Paisley, Architects, it exhibits high-quality materials and craftsmanship, particularly in its stone detailing and main lobby. On its façades, classical motifs such as garlands and pilasters are joined, on the ninth floor, by the symbol of the medical profession, a rod with serpent. The Medical Arts Building was acquired by the University of Toronto in 2002.
