Victoria and Grey Trust Company building

The building at 168 Wellington Street, at the northwest corner of Wellington and Brock Streets, was initially designated in 1975 under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act and involves a three and a half storey limestone building, known locally as the Victoria and Grey Trust Company building. The designation by-law refers to it as“…one of the two remaining round-cornered stone buildings designed by George Browne in the early 1840s. The classical symmetry of its design and the fine texture
of its stone ashlar façade have both been well preserved…” A project renovating this building which is an
excellent example of adding residential density in the historic core, was given an award by the Frontenac Heritage Foundation in 2022. Much more can be found about it in our awards section.
