Crown Trust Building

Architect:  Robert Buist for Watt and Tillman

“This is our Modernist jewel.”

-Sandra Miller, Forest City Modern (as quoted in the Globe & Mail by Dave Leblanc, “London Modern, for your consideration,” May 1, 2014.

With a distinctive period curtain wall of aluminum components, operable window assemblies, and green spandrel glass, the Crown Trust Building is featured in the “Standards and Guidelines for the Conservation of Historic Places in Canada” as an excellent example of a modern building envelope from the post-war era.
