The former William’s Shoe Store terrazzo storefront entryway is located at 750 Queen St W (between Claremont St and Bellwoods Ave) in the West Queen West neighbourhood of Toronto.
The stylish blend of dark grey, pink and light grey terrazzo floor adds a nostalgic elegance to the store’s entrance. A mirrored plate displays the store’s name, “William’s Shoe Store,” in red lettering, creating a focal point. The shoe shop had been serving customers since 1950. In September 2025, a few months after celebrating their 75th anniversary, the store closed.
