1. Jarvis Street Baptist Church - Jarvis Street Baptist Church was designed in the Gothic Revival style by the architectural firm of Langley & Burke - Edmund Burke served for many years at the church as a Sunday school teacher, chair of the choir committee and deacon. It was one of the first churches in Canada to be built with an amphitheatre-style interior.
2. St. George Greek Orthodox Church - It stands as a dynamic affirmation of the spiritual and artistic achievement of the Byzantine religious tradition. Built in 1897 by the Canadian architect John Wilson Siddall, the building functioned as a synagogue until 1937 when it was acquired by the parish of Saint George.
3. **The Thornton-Smith Building -**The building was designed in 1922 by John M. Lyle (1872-1945) for the Thornton-Smith Company, an antique furniture and interior design firm. A stunning event venue that keeps the 100 years of history on Yonge Street alive by boasting exposed brick, hardwood floors, three magnificent skylights and original windows that have witnessed celebrations of so many Toronto milestones on Yonge Street over the past century.
