ANDRE FAUTEUX AND CAROL SUTTON LIVED IN THE HISTORIC BUILDING, THE POULTON BLOCK, ORIENT HALL or Masonic Lodge, 1885-1886,, A FREEMASON LODGE, built in Toronto in 1885, by the architects Kennedy, Gaviller & Holland, at the NW corner of 792 Queen Street East and 2 Boulton Avenue. This building was adopted by City Council on Dec. 10, 1975, as an Historic Architecture building of Toronto history.

 
Extra notes: Famous artists André Fauteux and Carol Sutton lived in the historic building on the corner of 2 Boulton Avenue and 792 Queen Street East, called the "Poulton Block", originally built as "Orient Hall", a Freemasons lodge, as inscribed on a plaque just above the 2nd floor row of windows, now covered over with cement. André Fauteux and Carol Sutton were married in their apartment loft at the Poulton Block, 2 Boulton Avenue on June 25, 1977. André lived and had his studio there for about fifteen years and Carol lived there for six years. We used to have a joke about the Poulton plaque. It was that the man carving the letters Boulton, stopped for lunch, while working on the "B", and left with only the upper portion of the circle loop carved, thus the "P", but when he returned from lunch, he forgot to complete the bottom of the "P", which would have made it a "B" for Boulton. But this was a joke, as the true naming for the Poulton Block was based on a man named 'Poulton', and it just so happened to be on the corner of Boulton, and Queen St. East. Walking east past Boulton Avenue, the next street is DeGrassi Street. Another joke, my friend David Neave, got in a Toronto cab, " {Take me to} DeGassi please." "hey, no man", replied the cab driver, "I don't sell that stuff in my cab." - C.L.S. [Feb. 11, 2003]

Nearby is a three storey hotel , The New Edwin Hotel at 650 Queen East at Carroll Street (M4M1G5)., which is a building inspired by Italian architecture. This is a very handsome building in a warm buff tone brick, as can be seen on the upper level, past the street level, which sadly has be stuccoed. The windows in the building have curvered tops, and the roof overhangs the main wall of the Carroll Street side of the building. Opposite The New Edwin is a new coffee cafe, "Alway have time For Coffee'. The owner is Rob.

This is the building with the tall bell tower and the ornate carving over the windows. Note the fancy brick work on the lower portion of the building at street level.
 
(Second) Then if you walk East the next building of note is a former CIBC Bank Building on the corner of Grant Street and 744 Queen Street East on the North side of Queen, It has a curved front facade with four imposing doric columns, a central door flanked by two symmetrical windows. Both these window and the door have a half circle carved ornamental above them. The upper row of windows are of a square shape and all in all the architecture is very pleasing to the eye. This building has a great sense of scale.

The third major building in this vibrant area of Toronto is on the opposite side of street (south side), just half a block down at the corner of Saulter Street is the former post office, then Town hall and Cultural Centre, and local library. The architect of this building was the same man who designed what is now the large late 19th century City Hall of Toronto, E.J. Lennox.
Not the new City Hall designed by Viljo Revell with John B. Parkin Associates, 1965.

(Fourth) From the Library building designed by Lennox, one can see across Queen Street, the major three story building with very tall windows and floor levels, that is the HISTORIC BUILDING, THE POULTON BLOCK, ORIENT HALL or Masonic Lodge, 1885-1886,, A FREEMASON LODGE, built in Toronto in 1885, by the architects Kennedy, Gaviller & Holland, at the NW corner of 792 Queen Street East and 2 Boulton Avenue. This building was adopted by City Council on December. 10, 1975, as an Historic Architecture building of Toronto. This is where André Fauteux and Carol Sutton were married and lived as tenants during the late 1970's.

Fauteux, André
Fauteux, André, sculptor (b at Dunnville, Ont 15 Mar 1946). He received his basic art education at Central Technical School in Toronto and worked with Anthony Caro (York University, 1974-75). Fauteux is known for the elegant, controlled line of drawing that characterizes his abstract sculptures. Profoundly influenced by the minimalist paintings of Kenneth Noland, Fauteux has successfully dealt with and transformed Noland's painterly concerns to his sculptures. The carefully articulated thin outlines enclose the volume of each work, but the flatness of the steel, the convergence of verticals and horizontals at sharp, dramatic angles, and the surrounding negative space defy the mass and weight of the sculptures. Fauteux's approach uses the interaction of geometric shapes as a point of departure in the building of a sculptural form. In 1987 he received the Francis Greenberger Prize from the Guggenheim Museum and was awarded a major commission by the city of Barcelona. Fauteux has exhibited regularly in Toronto, New York, Chicago, London and Barcelona and is represented in the collections of many Canadian and international museums.
