Victoria Lofts
A red-brick Romanesque Revival Presbyterian church with a corner tower and steep spire, converted together with its adjoining Sunday school building into 34 lofts.
Overview & history
The building was a Presbyterian church, renamed Victoria in 1897 for Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee and dated to 1890 or 1892. The last service was held in 2006. Paul Oberst Architect's conversion kept the masonry and envelope largely intact and won a Heritage Toronto Award in 2013.
There are 34 units in one and two-storey layouts, from about 588 to 2,500 square feet, with exposed brick, restored trusses and ceilings up to 17 feet. One penthouse sits under the hammer-beam roof, another in the bell tower.
