The lower elevation of the original 1917 building featured cast stone and a rangy buff and red brick. The upper portion above the cornice detail was added later (1929) and is a less rangy red brick. The brick modules used in the original construction were called ‘Ontario’ size (4”D x 2-3/8”H x 8-3/8”L) and are generally not in production today. The only company able to provide brick to meet the strict requirements for this project was Hanson Brick in Burlington, Ontario. Hanson created a smooth texture three brick blend to match the lower elevation (Sundance (70%), Copper (15%), Riverdale (15%)) and a two colour blend (Copper (50%), Riverdale (50%), to match the upper. Riverdale was also used to create the diamond patterns between the windows. Custom Cast Stone elements from Continental Cast Stone in colour 1103 were manufactured for the stone base as well as the medallions, sills and parapet coping pieces.
