The history

The first version of the Lewis Lofts building was built in 1910 by the Ashdown Hardware Company. It had four storeys and was half the size of its current footprint. In 1911, two more storeys were added and you can see the addition above the arched windows of the fourth floor. The building was also expanded to fit the current lot. Lewis Stationary, it’s namesake, bought the building in 1972. It was converted to residential lofts in 1995 and is a provincially registered heritage building.

What to love

607’s exposed red brick walls, fir ceiling beams, Sub Zero appliances and granite counters offer modern luxury with vintage charm. The main living area is bright and spacious with 10-foot ceilings, an open floor plan and a recessed living room, but the tucked away bedroom offers a private space. There’s something inherently cool about loft living. It’s easy to imagine that if you lived here, you would also have a reality TV show about your stylish life.

What to consider

Most of the lofts in the Lewis building have tiny fire escape balconies, 607’s is only big enough for a barbeque, but there is a large outdoor common area.
