Was built ca. 1932, and first used by the Toronto Evening Telegram as their garage from 1932-1950. The Tely was around for 95 years from 1876-1971. This first "garageman" lived in Oakwood, then a suburb. More history pics at the listing link. /2

Then in the 1951-65 Coca-Cola took over the building to also use as a garage. The left and right front windows you can tell used to go to the ground and when I investigated the sidewalks, sure enough there are curb cuts there (for no apparent reason today). /3

Then a movie distribution company Victoria Shipping Services Ltd. took over from 1966-78 and it remained used by creative industries until converted to live/work condos in 2001. Stop by this lovely leafy Cabbagetown street Sat & Sun 1-3 PM for the #openhouse. /4

And since the link preview doesn't seem to be showing the lead image as one would expect, here's an exterior shot. Building has only 10 units and I managed to write the listing without using the word "boutique"! 😆 /5
