The building was at 80 King Street West and was the headquarters of the Toronto Star newspaper from 1929 until 1970.

The building was demolished in 1972 to make way for the construction of First Canadian Place.

The building was designed by the firm of Chapman and Oxley and opened in 1929.

On the third floor, the facade was wrapped in elaborate stonework in geometric and floral motifs, which also adorned the interior and the limestone piers at the crest of the building.

The ground floor facing King Street housed a few retail stores and a Stoodleigh's Restaurant at the east end.
