Canadian General Electric Company Building 1908 Originally the head office of the Canadian General Electric Company, this building was designed in the Beaux-Arts Classical style by the noted architecture firm of Darling and Pearson. It was the first of three adjacent buildings constructed for the company, a nationwide manufacturer of various electrical products. Distinguishing features include white glazed terra cotta trim and the stone portico with paired columns. The classical metal cornice marks the original roofline below the sixth-floor addition.
