Address: 75 Church Street Type of Building: High Schools Name of Building: Mechanics Institute Notes: Had a variety of uses. Housed the Post Office + the Crown Lands departments from 1855-1869. The building was altered in 1877 by H.B. Gordon, and converted by Mark Hall in 1883 for use as Toronto's main public library. It opened in March 1884 and was used until the Reference Library was opened at 214 College Street in 1906. Until 1927-28, the library maintained a branch in the building. In 1930, it was re-opened as the Employement Services of Canada, and the following year it was taken over by the Department of Public Welfare, which remained there until 1948-1949, when it was demolished and replaced by a service station parking lot.

Address: 0 Gould Street Type of Building: High Schools Name of Building: Normal and Model Schools Notes: Original location was known as St. James Square, a block bounded by Gould, Victoria, Gerrard and Church. It was one of downtown Toronto's few planned open spaces. The Normal School (Cumberland & Ridout 1850-1852) was the building devoted to teacher training and was the central part of the site. Behind that were two bilaterally symmetrical Model (Grammar) Schools (Cumberland & Storm 1857-1858) (one for girls, one for boys), that were linked to the Normal School by a corridor leading from the auditorium. The Normal School was demolished in 1963 (except for part of the main portico). The Model Grammar School, which opened in 1858, closed only five years later, and it is not known exactly when it was demolished. SEE: Geoffrey Simmins' "Fred Cumberland...", 1997.
