Friends' Meeting House Commemorative plaque, 1985.
Description
In 1911 the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), active in Toronto since 1878, built this meeting house. It was designed in the classical style by John A. McKenzie, Architect. The Quakers relocated in the late 1940's and this building was purchased in 1959 as headquarters for the newly-founded National Ballet School. Today it is the focal point in the group of well-preserved residential buildings that make up the much enlarged National Ballet School.
