Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Medical centre in the round. This 12-sided building is Etobioke's newest medical clinic. Built at a cost of $800,000 it is situated on Royal York Road and Summit Crest Dr. Designed by architect Jan H. Albarda, the 2 ½  storey structure has 32 suites as well as penthouse board room for doctors. Albarda said the round design of the building reduces waste space and gives each occupant a unit of the same size and design.
