The Dineen Building is a registered heritage property on Yonge Street, at the corner of Temperance Street, in downtown Toronto, Ontario.〔 〕 The building was built in 1897, and was extensively renovated in 2012.〔 〕 On November 21, 1973, the City of Toronto listed the property on the City of Toronto Heritage Property Inventory.〔(Heritage Property Detail for 142 Yonge St. )〕 and designated it as being of cultural heritage value or interest, under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act by City of Toronto By-law No.1062-2009, enacted by City Council on November 25, 2009. The original architect was F. H. Herbert.〔 〕 The building cost $30,000. The building used bronze and aluminum plates on its ceilings—aluminum being used for the first time in Canada. According to the ''Daily Mail and Empire'' the building's Sprague automatic elevator was also a remarkable feature. A fire triggered by an electrical fault caused significant damage in 1917.〔 〕 The new owner, Commercial Realty Group, decided to employ the more expensive ''adaptive reuse'' method to restoring the building.〔〔 〕 The storefront on Yonge Street has had its fifteen foot ceilings re-exposed, and houses a boutique style coffee shop called the Dineen Coffee Co. 〔 〕 Two restaurants, "The Chase" and "The Chase Fish and Oyster", has opened on the Temperance Street facade.〔 〕〔 〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dineen Building」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
