A more than 130-year-old building that has long served as a landmark along a main thoroughfare in Parkdale is, like many historic buildings in downtown Toronto, currently up for redevelopment and locals are, quite understandably, not happy about the prospect of seeing it turned into condos.
The High Victorian Italianate-style stretch between 1354-1360 Queen West was known for housing DIY haven Designer Fabrics for more than six decades, before which it had various uses, including a grocer in the late 1800s and early 1900s, a liquor store, a men s clothing store, a furniture store and a winery.
