Description
Detail view of steel and glass edifice at the Toronto-Dominion Center in Toronto, Ontario designed by Mies van der Rohe and completed in 1967. "The TD Bank Tower was the first building in the Toronto-Dominion Centre to be constructed
and is emblematic of the complex. The TD Bank Tower is 56-storeys high and 222.86m (731’-0”) tall. It is framed in structural steel, with a structural steel core and steel and concrete flooring. The facades are distinguished by their visual openness. Exposed, matte black painted steel beams provide a frame, or grid, filled with curtains of bronze-coloured glass,"-- Ontario Heritage Foundation.
