Annex (Madison Avenue)
Madison Avenue, between Bloor Street West and Dupont Street, is significant as a major street within the West Annex (the residential neighbourhood established at the end of the 19th Century on the former Baldwin lands north of Bloor Street). Madison Avenue contains an important series of residential buildings that were designed in the major architectural styles of the era by renowned Toronto Architects, including Langley and Langley, F. H. Herbert, and E. J. Lennox (the Architect for Old City Hall).
Following discussion with Heritage Preservation Services staff it was determined that the Annex (Madison Ave) area warranted study as a possible Heritage Conservation District. At a meeting on April 4, 2004 the Annex Residents' Association and property owners on Madison Avenue expressed interest in carrying out the studies required for Council to consider, at some point in the future, designating Madison Avenue as a Heritage Conservation District under the Ontario Heritage Act.
The Study will be conducted by a group of neighbourhood residents with the assistance of a heritage professional. Planning staff will guide the process to ensure proper procedure, an adequate level of research and appropriate content. The resulting District Plan will include guidelines for managing change consistent with good heritage conservation principles, so as to encourage continued maintenance of the area's heritage character.
