Music History of The Concert Hall

Built in 1917, the main floor was used as a rental space to help the Masons pay for the place. In the late 90s, it looked like the place would be torn down and replaced with a condo, but it received heritage designation and was repurposed for a variety of functions.

In 2012, Info-Tech Research Group bought and renovated the place, restoring it as a special events space.

It’s now under the management of 888 Yonge Inc. and concerts are coming back to The Concert Hall.
