The Great Hall, Queen Street West and Dovercourt, Toronto, 2017. Image by Herman Custodio
Description
Constructed in the High Victorian style, the Great Hall was designed by Gordon & Helliwell and completed in 1889. The four-storey red-brick building served many purposes over the years but was originally built for the YCMA. Commissioned by Triangle Development, restorations were undertaken on the whole building in 2016. The restoration project was nominated for a Heritage Toronto Architectural Conservation and Craftsmanship Award in 2017.
