Overview
The Bartlett Loft Towns were one of the first authentic loft conversions in the city, however today they read as anything but amateur. Rather, the lofts at 6 Bartlett Avenue defined originality and innovation before Toronto even knew the protocol for a successful hard loft conversion.
Thanks to developer Allan D. Gordon Associates and their innovative foresight, the Bartlett Loft Towns serve as inspiration for redevelopments of defunct spaces with so much hidden potential. The developer’s triumph with the Bartlett Loft Towns was even recognized by the province, as it was honoured with an Ontario Renew Award in 1985. The project left a lasting impression on Toronto’s real estate market, as today loft conversions are the most desired style of condo in the city.
Prior to its conversion into thirteen highly sought after Toronto lofts, the building was utilized for a number of industrial purposes, including twine production, automotive repair, and fishing tackle manufacturing.
The building dates back to at least 1947, as an aerial map of Toronto taken in that year, courtesy of the Toronto Archives, includes the 6 Bartlett Avenue structure. However, some difficulty lies in finding the exact date the building was erected, as no aerial photographs of Bartlett Avenue exist in the archives prior to 1947. A cursory glance at the building’s exterior architectural style suggests that it was built sometime in the mid-20th century, when minimalism and concrete were in fashion.
After browsing through Goad’s Atlas of Toronto (via the blog ‘recursion’), however, we discovered a map that provides a good estimate of the year Bartlett Lofts were built. 6 Bartlett and 8 Bartlett seem to suddenly appear on the map after 1910, and before 1903. The 1910 map even offers information about the original material of the building.
Incredibly enough, 6 Bartlett was constructed of wood over a century ago.

Share of occupied homes, by the era they were built in. Bars are drawn against the busiest era, not against each other, because the eras are not the same length. The eight shares are unlikely to total exactly 100: Statistics Canada rounds each era's count to the nearest 5 before publishing it, so we print what the census reports rather than adjusting a figure to make the column add up.
