Colborne Street, Toronto

Colborne Street is a street running several hundred metres east of Yonge Street in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It crosses Victoria Street and Leader Lane, ending at Church Street. It is located between and parallel to King Street East and Wellington Street East. The street is notable for retaining several historic buildings built during the reign of Queen Victoria.^[1]

In 1822, a two-storey building, Masonic Hall, with a cupola was built on what is now Colborne Street.^[2]

The Milburn building was built in 1886 at 47-55 Colborne Street, in Toronto, by architect Edward James Lennox.^[3]

The 15 storey Trader’s Bank Building at the corner of Colborne and Yonge streets was the tallest building in the British Empire when it was built in 1906.^[4]

In 1914, the King Edward Hotel requested a permit to build a pedestrian bridge across Colborne Street to an annex on the south side. As of 2023, the request is still pending.^[5]

Across Church Street from Clinkenbroomer's were the wooden buildings already referred to as having remained long in a partially finished state, being the result of a premature speculation. From this point we are induced to turn aside from our direct route for a few moments, attracted by a street which we see a short distance to the south, namely Market Lane, or Colborne Street, as the modern phraseology is.
