Toronto 34-50 King East | 112.36m | 33s | Larco | a—A

I'd like to know the provenance of the existing 34-36 King--given the IBM showroom once in there, I'm even wondering whether Elliot Noyes had some say in the design...

I am only now making the connection that this classic Toronto photo is the building in question. Thanks @adma

112.6 metres actually.

The three of us guessed the architects wrong. It's architectsAlliance. dataBase file established, linked at the top of the page, with six renderings to ponder!

Seems like there are a lot of (competing?) design elements evident in those renders. I'm sure they'll be refined, but I hope they're in the direction of simplifying.
 
Old brick building = heritage and is saved while mid-century modern = nothing and gets razed. Both should be saved.
Well put. I have always feared for this great example of mid-century modernist architecture.
 
Just came across this listing on MLS for a cafe located on the property. Coincidence?
VERY oddly worded it is too: If the current owner can't cook it may explain his/her retirement!

Potential To Add Any Kind Of Food, Or Liquor License Or Add More Famous Brandy Coffer To Attract The More Customers. The Seller Can't Cook, Retired.
