Are you talking about Dundas West in Toronto, Mississauga or ??? And what meeting?Meeting On March 26 for this posed development
Mississauga City Council/Planning Committee meeting, for the Dundas and Hurontario area.Are you talking about Dundas West in Toronto, Mississauga or ??? And what meeting?
According to a heritage review the developer commissioned, it was built in 1913 as a general store.Interesting choice for preservation of a heritage property lol ... I'll admit I'm ignorant on the history of it, but purely from an aesthetic/architectural perspective, this is a bit of a dump ... Also doesn't retaining this property go against the City's priority of wanting to widen Dundas close to Hurontario to make room for an additional thru lane once the BRT is built?

In 1877, David Oscar Schiller opened a flour and seed business in a wood-framed building on the property. The business grew over the years and Schiller expanded the business by constructing a new building in the 1900s. In 1913, a two-storey brick-clad building with an attached one-storey dwelling was constructed on the Site, replacing the existing one-storey general store. The new store included a cement basement for stocking.
David’s grandsons Thomas and James Schiller operated the store after their grandfather’s death shortly after the store opened.The Schiller store began to offer, in addition to groceries, other items like hardware supplies, medicine, clothing, and automobile parts.Thomas “T.D” Schiller sold the store prior to his death in 1930. A one-storey concrete block commercial addition was constructed aſter 1939.
Since its construction the building on the property has been used by a number of tenants and there have been various alterations to the building. Refer to Section 2.2 for more detail on the alterations. The building on the property is currently in use as a salon, printing centre, and tax company.
