The Dominion Public Building is located at 1 Front St W, between Bay St and Yonge St in Toronto’s Financial District.
The building, constructed over a period of six years between 1929 and 1935, is a magnificent example of the Beaux-Arts Classicism style of architecture. The esteemed architect Thomas W Fuller designed the building, which has since become a landmark of Toronto. The city recognized its historical significance by granting it heritage status in 1973, and it was later listed on the prestigious Canadian Register in 2011.
