SKATING RINK ON THE ROOF OF NEW APARTMENT HOTEL Twelve-Storey Structure to Be Erected at Corner of Sherbourne and Carlton--To Call for Tenders Within Next Ten Days Garden Apartments Limited. Commonwealth building, who are sponsoring the new 12-storey apartment hotel, planned for erection at the northeast corner of Carlton and Sherbourne streets, are making application to the property committee for a lifting of the 25-foot building restriction existing on Sherbourne street, in order that the building may be built to reach to the lot line. A previous infringement of this restriction in the case of another building, resulted in litigation and consequent expense to the promoters of the other structure before the matter could be settled, but in the case of the new structure announced to-day, this matter will be adjusted prior to the commencement of constructional work. Little opposition is anticipated by the promoters as they state that Sherbourne street, in the Carlton street area, has altered considerably in character of late years and can now no longer be regarded as a street of purely private homes. The new building will be of steel construction, absolutely fireproof, and will overlook Allan Gardens. The building will be furnished with a handsome main entrance on Sherbourne street and a lounge room with express elevators for the use of the guests. As well as cafeteria, ball room, men's smoking room, children's play room, laundry and trunk room, there will be a fine roof garden, which will be used as a skating rink during the winter months. The stores, which will front on Carlton street, will be accessible to guests through a corridor opening off the rotunda. The 207 apartments will be of one to four rooms apiece, with tiled baths and new type fixtures. Kitchens are to be provided with electric stoves, electric refrigeration, kitchen cabinets and other conveniences. Tenders will be called for in the next ten days.
