Looking southwest towards the corner of Church St and Granby St, in the Garden District of Toronto.
The archive photo shows when the building was home to Les Cavaliers Steak House. It was later the popular gay nightclub, the Barn and the Stables. More recently, it housed The Marquis of Granby before its closure. Constructed in 1891 as Stephen Murphy Houses and Store, the building’s Second-Empire style and cultural value earned it heritage status from the city in 2006.
There are plans to integrate the heritage properties at 414-418 Church St into a 32-story tower at the site.
