The Hotel Victoria is a historic boutique hotel located in Toronto, Canada, at 56 Yonge Street. The hotel opened in 1909 as the Hotel Mossop, and was the first fireproof building in Toronto, constructed after Toronto's Great Fire of 1904. It has been designated a Heritage Building by the City of Toronto. ==Great Fire of Toronto and Initial Construction== The Hotel Victoria was built following Toronto's Great Fire of 1904, which destroyed over 100 buildings in downtown Toronto and caused over $10 million worth of damage. Following the fire, in 1906, Frederick Mossop, a former hotel clerk, purchased the site at 56 Yonge Street with the intention of building a hotel. Mossop hired the renowned Canadian architect J.P. Hynes to design the building, which was intended from the outset to be completely fireproof. After three years of planning and construction, the 48-room, eight-storey hotel was finished at a cost of $250,000. Upon completion, Mossop named the hotel after himself, and it opened in 1909 as the "Hotel Mossop." 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「Hotel Victoria (Toronto)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
