WHITNEY BLOCK
Toronto, ON

Since it's opening in 1928, this government office building has taken the brunt of Toronto weather, causing the applied Gothic stone façades to gradually deteriorate. The most recent phase pertained to the parapet walls, which required stones to be replaced or refinished.

YONGE/TEMPERANCE CENTRE
Toronto, ON

This new building was part of the Bay/Adelaide development project in Toronto's downtown core. The project involved supply of dimensional cut stone pilasters, sills, lintels, and other stylized details for the building exterior. Indiana buff limestone was used to contrast the red brick. Over 2,600 cubic feet of limestone was shipped to the site.

BCE PLACE - HERITAGE SQUARE
Toronto, ON

The preservation of historic mercantile buildings is an important part of our Canadian heritage. A group of 11 designated properties were retained and incorporated into the BCE Place Heritage Square project.

Old World Stone provided the dimensional cut stone for the restoration project. Carved brackets and corbels, moulded cornices and string courses, pilaster and plinths were custom fabricated to match the original profiles.
