210 Dundas Street West -- what is its history?

[Padraic]

I have been tasked with researching this building, but cannot find any information on it, beyond the fact that it was built in 1928 (http://www.urbandb.com/canada/ontario/toronto/210-dundas-west-printing-plant/)

Can anyone point me to where I might find more information?

Looks like the urbandb entry's a paraphrase of this
http://www.tobuilt.ca/php/tobuildings_more.php?search_fd3=2729

Note the "two sources" listed at the bottom--though I'll assume there's primary material out there from the 1920s or so...

The Toronto Archives has pictures - they might have information as well.

Mustapha did a 'then and now' that included another view of the building

I'd recommend archival research on Maclean-Hunter, who built the whole block.
