Illustration Sunday: Kormann House Hotel

Continuing a popular series from earlier this year, Illustration Sunday will explore some interesting local buildings over the next few weeks.

Completed in 1897, this building on the southwest corner of Queen and Sherbourne started out as a hotel. Cited for its "design value as a representative example of a late 19th century corner hotel," the Kormann House is included in the Toronto Heritage Property Inventory. Though vacant for the past few years, this old watering hole will open its doors once again as part of an upcoming condo development.
