One of Queen Street West's oldest shops has been demolished despite its designation in 2007 as a protected heritage building.

On Monday, the City of Toronto slapped a stop-work order on construction at the building at 520 Queen St. W., built in the 1850s. But it's unclear what the city intends to do next about the unauthorized demolition.

Hopefully they fine him and force him to reconstruct. If the city doesn’t send a message it’s not profitable to tear down heritage buildings, it’ll be open season on them.

Lol developer just pretending the designation doesn't exist is wild. Hope they force a rebuild and issue a massive fine.
