The Workmen’s Compensation Board Building (later known as 90 Harbour St), was a five-storey building that was originally home to the Workers Compensation Board of Ontario from 1953 to 1973. It was designed by the province's master architect George N. William.
It was also known as the Old Ontario Provincial Police Headquarters, with the province's police force using the building from 1973 to 1995.
The building was later sold to film production company Juxtaproduction and targeted for use in film shoots. It was used in films such as Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, Exit Wounds and Ararat.
The building was sold to private developers and was then demolished in the summer of 2011.
