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.
In 1822 a two-storey building, Masonic Hall, with a cupola was built on what is now Colborne Street.
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.
In 1914 the King Edward Hotel requested a permit to build a pedestrian bridge across Colborne Street to an annex on the south side.
