OLD TORONTO HOMR TO PASS AWAY Above is a drawing by N. A. Armstrong, architect, of a new 175 suite apartment hotel, which is planned for erection on the site of the old Robert Davies' home at the northeast corner of Sherbourne and Carlton streets. The hotel is planned as a residence and for the convenience of downtown business people, and will be equipped with banquet hall, cafeteria, roof garden, bowling alleys and badminton and racquet courts. Stores are planned for the Carlton street side of the building and a garage and parking space will be a feature. The Sherbourne street frontage is 204 feet and that on Carlton street 102 feet. The building will be ten storeys and basement high. The late Robert Davies died on March 12, 1916, and his will was the subject of extensive subsequent litigation. Mrs. Isabella Taylor, who occupied the Sherbourne-Carlton street house, to be pulled down for the new hotel, appeared in the role of plaintiff in the action. The old home was part of estate involved in the litigation.
