College Park
This Art Deco masterpiece was the second home of the Eaton's department store in Toronto and opened in 1930. The building was originally intended to be an extremely tall skyscraper akin to the Empire State Building in New York, however the Great Depression intervened and it topped out at a height of only seven floors. It now contains a large Winner's clothing store, a food court, a 24-hour Dominion grocery store, a restored Art Deco event space known as The Carlu after the architect who designed it, and a provincial court house.
