Description
The Heliconian Club, founded in 1909 to provide a forum for women in the arts, purchased this property in 1923. Opened in 1876 as the Olivet Congregational Church, this small Gothic Revival building became the church hall and Sunday school in 1890 when a large adjacent building was erected. In 1921 it was sold to the Painters' Union and named Hazleton Hall. When acquired by the Heliconian Club it was extensively renovated as its permanent home. Over the years the membership of the Heliconian Club has included many Canadian women distinguished in the arts.
