12 Stirling
12 Stirling Avenue, known as Yard & Station, is one of Hintonburg’s most artful schoolhouse conversions. Originally built in 1933 as St. François d’Assise Separate School, it was reimagined in 2015 by Morley Hoppner and acclaimed architect Barry Hobin into just 9 boutique condo suites. The heritage facade—with stone engravings of reading children—remains intact, while inside each unit is uniquely custom-designed, featuring light-filled open layouts, soaring ceilings, and private-access elevators. Shared amenities include a rooftop terrace, storage lockers, and elevators, all wrapped in a design that marries originality, craftsmanship, and urban sophistication.
