Info
George Street is a north-south street in Toronto, Canada from south of Front Street, north to Gerrard Street. Its southern blocks are within the grid of the townsite of the original town of York, Upper Canada. George Street was once one of the most exclusive and expensive addresses in the city. Today, the north end of the street, next to Seaton House men's shelter, is an example of urban blight. The City of Toronto is redeveloping the street with a new Seaton House institution focussed more on long-term care. Several abandoned buildings have been bought by the City and others have been expropriated to facilitate the redevelopment - the George Street Revitalisation Project.
