Schoolhouse Lofts
The 1954 Loretto College School building beside the original Loretto school on Brunswick Avenue, built when the girls' school outgrew its 1915 home. The school closed in 2001, and Empire converted the building in 2010 into 19 large lofts.
History of Schoolhouse Lofts
By the early 1950s Loretto College School had outgrown its 1915 building next door. In May 1953 two old houses the Sisters owned, known as Casa and Bains, were torn down, and a new school building opened on this site in September 1954.
The school stayed until June 2001, after a 1999 fire in the convent building had already forced the Sisters out. That year they sold both buildings as one property; the new owner later sold them separately, and the older building became The Loretto in 2007.
Empire converted this one in 2010 into 19 lofts, some of them very large, keeping its schoolhouse brick outside while modernizing inside. It is one of the very few loft buildings in the Annex, steps from Bloor and the Spadina subway.
