Cadillac
Cadillac is among the first automobile brands in the world, second in the United States only to fellow GM marque Buick. The firm was founded from the remnants of the Henry Ford Company in 1902. It was named after Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac, who founded Detroit, Michigan. The Cadillac crest is based on his coat of arms.

The building remained continuously occupied by car dealerships for eighty-two years. In 1955, it was opened as a Cadillac dealership by Harry Addison, and was known as Addison on Bay. It later became Canada's largest Cadillac dealership, and by the 1980s was operated by former Member of Parliament John Hollings Addison. Despite its long history, the dealership was closed as part of a reorganization and consolidation of the car dealership industry in Canada.
