Apple Self Storage Preserves the Heritage of One of Toronto’s Historic Buildings

Apple Self Storage Toronto-Leaside Units

Toronto is a city rich in history and Apple Self Storage has preserved a piece of this heritage by converting a historic building at 20 Research Road into a self storage facility that otherwise could have been slated for demolition. The building had a critical role in World War II by making radial dials for the Allies. After the War, Dorothea Knitting Mills, a textile company, operated in the building until ceasing operations in 2016. Apple Self Storage has since converted the space to self storage in Toronto-Leaside while keeping the historical architecture of the building.

David Allan, Apple Self Storage’s VP Development says “This building is so much more than just another storage facility for me. I grew up in Leaside on Leacrest Road and I understand how important the Leaside community is. Preserving the history of the building was a non-negotiable. I’m very excited to finally be back home and I look forward to giving back to the community that I grew up in!” Apple Self Storage will also be proudly displaying photographs by Peter MacCallum documenting the history of the building. Mr. MacCallum’s work is also displayed at the National Gallery of Canada.
