The Robertson Building
Photos and transcription by contributor Wayne Adam - Posted December, 2014
In the lobby of this building on the east side of Spadina Avenue just south of Sullivan Street midway between Dundas Street and Queen Street can be found this plaque. Heres what it says:
Coordinates: 43.650712 -79.396842 |

The Robertson Building at 215 Spadina was originally home to the James Robertson Company, manufacturers and distributors of plumbing fittings and fixtures. The building was constructed in 1911 to be the heart of the company's operations and included the main showroom for their products. The building's original Douglas fir post and beam construction, brick work, and wood floors are in keeping with the industrial style of the time.
