The large and well-known building on Eglinton West at Elmsthorpe Ave. appears this weekend to be sprouting a white-coated physician from the roof. The owner of this property has applied to build up to a total of four storeys. It is believed he intends to place a new medical services centre on the as-yet-to-be built LRT. We think Dr. Rooftop is a sign of the plan to do just that. The building has been home in recent years to a pop up discounter, Brands 4 Less and the eclectic home and clothing store Liv. Before that it was most notably home to Paul Slavens Real Estate, Nestings Kids as well as many others. We believe 418 Eglinton dates from 1936 when it was built as an A and P grocery store.
