Here is a1920s photo of Nealon House (from Frederick and King

Here is the now view

The reasons for DESIGNATION are at: https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/bylaws/2020/law1153.pdf

"Located on the south side of the street between Frederick Street (east) and George Street (west),the property at 197 King Street East contains a four-storey commercial building that was constructed in 1888 as a hotel named the Nealon House after its owner, grocer James Nealon. Following Nealon's untimely death, the property was acquired in 1890 by Daniel and John Kennedy, who continued to operate the hotel. The property remained in continuous use as a hotel and a tavern for nearly a century."

I am now realizing how nice it would've been to have restored that pyramidal roof on the tower but overall JCI tends to do really good work on their low-rise/mid-rise stuff.
