Balfour, author of the "Balfour Declaration" in 1917, whose goal was for the British government to support a Jewish homeland in Palestine. The high-rise was built originally for the Schiffer-Hillman Clothing Company; it was managed by numerous Jewish clothing companies in its early years. Presently, the Balfour Building is a historical tower landmark of Art Deco style in the 1930s.[3] Elevators were installed by Otis-Fensom of Hamilton.[4] The building has hardwood flooring, a rooftop terrace and various recently added features, including forced air heating and centrally controlled air conditioning.[5] The Balfour Building was listed as a Toronto Heritage Property in 2011 by the City of Toronto Heritage Property Inventory.[6] References{{Portal|Architecture}}1. ^{{cite web|title=SkyscraperPage.com|url=http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=57586|publisher=Skyscraper Source Media Inc.|accessdate=23 November 2014}} 2. ^{{cite web|title=WTF Group: 119 Spadina Avenue|url=http://www.wtfgroup.com/119-spadina-avenue|publisher=2014 WTF Group|accessdate=23 November 2014}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Toronto's Historical Plagues: Balfour Building 1930|url=http://www.torontohistory.org/Pages/Balfour_Building.html|publisher=Alan L Brown|accessdate=23 November 2014}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Historic Toronto: Enjoying Toronto's Architectural Gems (blog)|url=http://tayloronhistory.com/2012/07/20/enjoying-torontos-architectural-gemsthe-balfour-building-at-spadina-and-adelaide/|accessdate=23 November 2014}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=Emporis: Balfour Building|url=http://www.emporis.com/building/balfour-building-toronto-canada|publisher=2014 Empoweris GMBH.|accessdate=23 November 2014}} 6. ^{{cite web|title=Balfour Building-Signs of History on Waymarking.com|url=http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WMCTF6_Balfour_Building_Toronto_ON|publisher=2014 Groundspeak Inc.|accessdate=23 November 2014}} 3 : Art Deco architecture in Canada|Buildings and structures in Toronto|City of Toronto Heritage Properties |
