The building was listed as Classified Federal Heritage Building in 1983.
This designation stood until the building was sold.
In 2015, Public Works and Government Services Canada requested that the City of Toronto's Heritage Preservation Services assess the property to determine whether it was worthy of designation as an individual property under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act.
The property was listed under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act as part of the Union Station Heritage Conservation District; because the federal government is not subject to the Act, compliance on their part was voluntary.
The Heritage Conservation District designation is confined to the exterior of the building.
Designation under Part IV of the Act allows for the protection of cultural heritage value and heritage attributes, including interior features of the building.
The City of Toronto designated the Dominion Public building under Part IV of the Act on May 10, 2017.
