The Toronto Preservation Board recommends to the Toronto and East York Community Council that: 

1.  City Council include the property at 100 Simcoe Street (Rolph and Clark Limited Building), with the convenience addresses of 90 Simcoe Street, 130 Pearl Street and 203 Adelaide Street West, on the City of Toronto’s Heritage Register.

This report recommends that City Council include the property at 100 Simcoe Street (with the convenience addresses of 90 Simcoe Street, 130 Pearl Street and 203 Adelaide Street West) on the City of Toronto’s Heritage Register. 

Located on the west side of Simcoe Street between Pearl and Adelaide streets in the King-Spadina neighbourhood, the property contains an industrial building that was constructed in two phases and originally occupied by Rolph and Clark Limited (forerunners to Rolph-Clark-Stone Limited), lithographers, graphic designers and stationery manufacturers.  Following research and evaluation, it has been determined that the property at 100 Simcoe Street meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, the provincial criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act, which the City also applies for properties on the Heritage Register.

The inclusion of the property at 100 Simcoe Street on the City’s Heritage Register would identify all of the property’s cultural heritage values and heritage attributes.  Properties on the Heritage Register will be conserved and maintained in accordance with the Official Plan Heritage Policies.
