Flooring in King West
Late 19th and early to mid 20th century residential and industrial buildings from King-Spadina's manufacturing era, new apartment buildings on former factory sites and parking lots, and surviving 19th century residential streets such as Draper Street's row of Second Empire workers' cottages built from 1881 to 1889.
What changes the job in King West
- Parts of the area sit inside the King-Spadina Heritage Conservation District (designated 2017) and the Draper Street Heritage Conservation District (designated 1999).
- Draper Street is a row of semi-detached workers' cottages from 1881 to 1889, a very different job from the new apartment towers a block away.
- West of Bathurst, the former Niagara neighbourhood has seen an explosion of new condominium, loft and row house development.
