John M. Lyle Studio 1921

This façade was part of a studio designed by John M. Lyle for his architectural practice. Lyle, one of Canada's most distinguished architects, trained a number of noteworthy Canadian architects at the studio and worked there until his retirement in 1943. The building was set behind the homes that fronted Bloor Street West, and was accessed by a pedestrian laneway located at 230 Bloor Street West. A portion of the studio's façade was dismantled and reconstructed in its current location as part of a residential development completed in 2011.
