Some of Toronto’s most interesting homes have stories that go back more than a century.
Built between 1908 and 1910, 243 Macdonell Avenue began life as an industrial building, housing businesses including the Reach Sporting Goods Company, a brass foundry, and later a tool-and-die factory.
In 1986, it became one of Toronto’s earliest factory-to-loft conversions, preserving many of its original industrial features, including exposed brick, timber beams, soaring ceilings, and oversized factory windows.
Today, with just six loft residences, it stands as a remarkable example of how Toronto’s industrial heritage has been thoughtfully preserved and reimagined for modern living.
