Updated or built in 1910 by James Havill for Holt, Renfrew & Co., purveyors of fur at the time, this building originally occupied the northwest corner of Yonge and Adelaide as part of the 1850 Elgin building . The facade was moved north to Temperance Street for the Bay Adelaide Centre. The building was elongated to house mechanical equipment on its upper floors for the adjacent building. The extension, a modern addition cast from the original building facade, is known as a ghost wall.
