Finally, and perhaps most importantly, our tenants recommend us. If you have not had the opportunity to compare their responses with responses from tenants in competing buildings, we urge you to do so now. The approval of our tenants is your best assurance that in choosing the Toronto Carpet Factory, you have made the right decision.

State-of-the-art site
The history of the Toronto Carpet Factory begins with the company whose name it retains, the Toronto Carpet Manufacturing Company, Limited, established by F. Barry Hayes in Toronto, in 1891.

In 1899, the burgeoning Toronto Carpet Manufacturing Company, Limited, moved out of its cramped space at Jarvis and The Esplanade into its impressive new factory at 1179 and 1179A King Street W., and 74 Fraser Ave.

The company couldn’t keep up with the demand of the Canadian market for its ingrain and chenille Axminster carpets and within five years had added its own spinning and carding facilities, as well as additional looms to produce Brussels and Wilton carpets, in the new addition located at 77 Mowat Ave.

By the end of the First World War, the factory occupied one city block and employed over 1,000 people, about the same number of people who work at the Carpet Factory today. The buildings are similar in architecture to other industrial buildings being built in Britain and the U.S. during that time. They were constructed in the classic 19th century style of perimeter buildings forming a cloister around a central quadrangle and powerhouse.

All of the buildings are of heavy timber construction with load-bearing brick walls, wooden columns and beams, and hardwood floors. All roof decks are wooden, with the exception of the boiler/generator room which is concrete slab.

In its time, the site was considered to be “state of the art”, completely self-reliant, with its own steam-generated heat, power and electricity capabilities, fire pump and an underground cistern storing 625,000 gallons of water for emergency use. The cistern remains buried beneath the floor of 72 Fraser Ave. A maze of catacombs (steam pipes) still delivers heat through the site. Ceiling heights range from 12’ up to 22’, and 24’ in some of the corridors of the Mowat Ave. building.
