Redevelopment looks to get closer to original vision
Even in the booming 1920s, it seemed audacious. Plans for Eaton’s Art Deco-style College Park store in Toronto included a grand, residential tower rising 37 storeys — a height that was unheard of at that time.
The plan was cut short by the economic slump that became the Great Depression, and though the store opened with fanfare in 1930, only its seven-storey retail base had been built.
