This much admired 19th century former TD bank building is having a last stand as a nicely dressed up showroom for a new condominium which will see the old bank razed to the ground in about a year. The project takes on the best spin possible in an article in Urban Toronto. “The parking lot and empty storefronts that stand out against the otherwise lively stretch of Davisville at Yonge south of Belsize are finally set to make way for new development, as Mattamy Homes and Biddington Homes recently confirmed plans for a 9-storey condominium on the site. Called J. Davis House, the project will bring 191 suites to the area, bringing new density to this highly desirable part of Midtown Toronto.” Reads like an ad. Anyway, the old bank gets the boot. J. Davis by the way was the postmaster at Yonge and Davisville when there wasn’t much more to Davisville than a post office.
