SW CT-228 Laying the Last Stone on the Canada Life Building




The Canada Life Building is a historic office building in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The fifteen-floor Beaux Arts building stands at 285 feet (87 m), 321 feet (97.8 m) including its weather beacon.

It is located in the city's downtown. Work on the new headquarters of the Canada Life Assurance Company began in 1929 and it opened in 1931.

It was the fourth building to serve as the headquarters of Canada Life, Canada's oldest, and at the time largest, insurance company.

This interesting postcard shows workmen laying the last stone of this iconic Toronto building.
