William H. Wright Building photo 1
The William H. Wright Building was a notable six-storey office structure in Toronto, Ontario, exemplifying streamline moderne architecture. Constructed between 1937 and 1938 by the architectural firm Mathers and Haldenby, it served as the headquarters for The Globe and Mail newspaper, named after its founder, William Henry Wright. Although demolished in 1974 to make way for the Exchange Tower, remnants of the building, including its main door and sculptural elements, can be found at various locations, such as The Globe and Mail's new site and Guild Park and Gardens. The building's architectural plans are preserved at the Archives of Ontario, making it a point of interest for both tourists and researchers exploring Toronto's architectural history.
