Borman Grocery Store – Toronto

Alfred J. Borman purchased this property in 1912 and opened his grocery store about 1920. He had been living nearby at 3001 Purington Avenue since 1913. In 1945 Reverend Isaac E. Clark took over the store, renaming it Clark’s Grocery and Market. Clark ran the store through the 1950s. This small, quaint commercial structure is clad in narrow horizontal siding and has a central entrance topped by a round arch transom. The building has an unusual round arch parapet flanked by short pyramid-roofed towers.
