Confederation Life Building

Confederation Life Building
The Confederation Life Building.

The Confederation Life Building on Richmond Street East in Toronto was built in 1892 by Knox and Elliot. The 7 floor Romanesque Revival architecture office was home to insurer Confederation Life.

A fire almost gutted the building in or around the 1970s, but the structure survived and was restored for new tenants.
