St. Michael's Cemetery Deer Park is also home to one of Toronto's oldest cemeteries.
St. Michael's Cemetery (Toronto) was opened by the
Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Toronto on September 28, 1855. There are some 29,000 graves in the cemetery. Ten acres in size, St. Michael's has the unusual characteristic of being surrounded on all sides by the backs of buildings, thus making it nearly invisible from the street. It is bound on the north by stores, apartments and office buildings along St. Clair Avenue West, on the west by houses along Foxbar Road, on the south by houses and
Toronto Fire Services Station 311 along Balmoral Avenue, and on the east by stores and office buildings along Yonge Street. Entrance to the cemetery is gained through an alley off Yonge Street. The cemetery's octagonal mortuary vault was used to store bodies in the winter until the ground thawed. Designed by architect
Joseph Sheard, who was also mayor of
Toronto in 1871–72, the vault was designated a historic property under the
Ontario Heritage Act in December 1975.
1331 Yonge Street A studio complex was located on 1331
Yonge Street, three blocks south of
St. Clair Avenue, the building previously constructed as a book bindery and showroom. In 1959, the building was renovated as the headquarters of
CHUM Radio, a division of CTVglobemedia (now known as
Bell Media), and to the studios of the company's Toronto radio stations,
CHUM and
CHUM-FM as well as CHUM Radio's national operations. The most prominent feature of the building's exterior was the famous "CHUM Dial 1050" neon sign over the front entrance. In July 2008, CTVgm announced that it would sell the building to developer Aspen Ridge Homes for $21.5 million. The stations were expected to move to
250 Richmond Street West, a downtown location at Richmond Street and Simcoe near
299 Queen Street West, in 2009. The neon sign was moved to the new location. In preparation for the move, the stations held an
open house on November 15, 2008, inviting listeners to visit for a tour of the historic building and an exhibit of CHUM's radio memorabilia. The company's radio stations were officially relocated to
250 Richmond Street West on August 19, 2009, which is now
Bell Media Radio. After the stations moved out, 1331 Yonge Street came under the ownership of Aspen Ridge Homes and was home to their offices, as well as the offices for the advertising agency, "The Brand Factory." In September 2016, the building was officially demolished, in order for a condominium complex to be built on the site. ==Notable residents==
