Creed Lofts
Creeds' fur-storage vaults at Davenport and Bedford, a curved Streamline Moderne building by H.G. Duerr from 1937, built after Davenport Road was widened. Furs were stored here until the late 1980s; converted in 1998 into 19 multi-level lofts, with a new top floor for roof terraces.
History of Creed Lofts
Creeds was the fabled Bloor Street fashion and fur store, partly credited with turning Yorkville from bohemian to high-end. When Davenport Road was widened in the 1930s, Creeds built these storage vaults for customers' furs in 1937, designed by H.G. Duerr, with the horizontal lines and curved corner of the Streamline Moderne style. A 1948 photo shows the Bedford side much as it is.
Creed Furs sold the building in 1988, and it was converted into lofts in 1998 by TTH Developments. More windows were cut into the old vault walls, and a new top level was added to reach private roof patios. Most of the 19 lofts have several levels, skylights or windows onto a light well, terraces, hardwood and gas fireplaces, with ceilings up to 13 feet; a few have their own street doors. A Heritage Toronto plaque on the building tells its story.
