Monteith St, Gloucester St, Church St: 32 listed buildings, side by side

32 at-risk listed buildings within 1.1 hectares, mostly built around 1887 (the oldest in 1879). Designating them one by one is slow; a heritage conservation district study could cover them together.

Ask for a district study

Under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act, council can designate an area for study and then adopt a district plan. A letter from residents and heritage groups, with the buildings listed, is how many districts begin.

Subject: Request for a heritage conservation district study: Monteith St, Gloucester St, Church St, Toronto

Dear Heritage Planning, City of Toronto,

I am writing to ask that the municipality study the area around Monteith St, Gloucester St, Church St for designation as a heritage conservation district under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act.

The area holds 32 listed heritage properties close together, mostly built around 1887. As listed properties, they come off the municipal heritage register on January 1, 2027 unless council acts, and cannot be listed again for five years. Designating them one by one is unlikely before the deadline; a district study would consider them together.

The properties are listed here: https://thepatinarecord.ca/districts/toronto-7

Please consider asking council to designate the area for study, and let us know how residents and heritage groups can help with research and consultation.

Thank you,
