TORONTO, Dec. 10 — A new on-line inventory of heritage properties has been posted on the City of Toronto's Web site.
The Inventory of Heritage Properties identifies Toronto's built cultural heritage. It was started in 1973 and lists more than 7,000 properties ranging from landmark buildings and structures to private homes and heritage districts. The on-line inventory will be useful to property owners, lawyers, architects, developers, students, heritage and neighbourhood groups, and real estate organizations-groups that need access to a wide variety of detailed information on a daily basis.
The inventory is described as "an exciting step for the City and its e-City strategy," Toronto Preservation Board chairman Patrick Gossage said. "It makes vital data on our built heritage of architectural, historic and cultural merit accessible to everyone."
The on-line inventory contains about 7,000 buildings and structures that can be searched by using a street name, ward, heritage conservation district, architect, year of construction, and building type. Bylaw numbers for properties designated under the Ontario Heritage Act and Heritage Easement Agreement information are also included in the inventory.
