CITYSCAPE
Another one bites the dust. Loblaw’s historic circa-1927 warehouse at the foot of Bathurst, one of Toronto’s best examples of Art Deco, may be no more. The giant grocer wants to put a new store on the site that once housed the head offices of the Loblaw Groceteria Company Limited. The building, where Loblaw’s special brands were manufactured and packaged, was considered one of the most sophisticated of its time. It was a key piece of the waterfront industrial puzzle and now anchors an important heritage conservation district that includes the Tip Top Tailors Building (1929) and Fort York.
