Overview
Designed by Chapman and Oxley, and completed in 1928, the building was the tallest in the city for one year, until the construction of the Royal York Hotel. Henry Falk, a New York entrepreneur, was the builder responsible for Sterling Tower's construction along with local firm Yolles & Rotenberg. The Sterling Tower was part of Toronto's late 1920s building boom.
Recognition
