Looking northeast towards the former Palace Arms Hotel and Palace Tavern at 950 King St W and Strachan Ave, in the King West Village of Toronto.
Built in 1890, the building is an exquisite example of the Romanesque Revival architectural style. The renowned architect Frederick Henry Herbert designed the hotel and expertly crafted the building’s façade and ornate details. In 1984, the city recognized its significance by awarding it heritage status.
Today, there are plans to incorporate the building’s historic exterior into a mixed-use development.
