The Northern Ontario Building on the northwest corner of Bay Street and Adelaide Street West opened in 1925. Designed by prominent Toronto architectural firm Chapman and Oxley, this tower in classical revival style was one of Toronto's earliest skyscrapers. You can still admire the building's restrained elegance as you pass this corner one hundred years later. 1. Postcard of the Northern Ontario Building, ca. 1925. Series 330, File 160, Item 5. 2.
