Description
The Broadview Hotel, a Romanesque Revival building at Queen and Broadview, was commissioned by entrepreneur Archibald Dingman in 1892. It served as a commercial, social, and cultural hub for the newly annexed neighbourhood of Riverdale. In 1907, Thomas J. Edward purchased the building, then known as Dingman’s Hall, and converted it into a hotel.
