The Assembly Hall
Not Yet Rated Blues | Choir | Classical | Folk | Jazz | Piano | Vocal | World
The Assembly Hall was built in 1898 as part of the Mimico Lunatic Asylum. Patient labour was used to construct the Assembly Hall because the hospital's superintendent, Dr. Nelson Henry Beemer, was a strong believer in meaningful work as a form of rehabilitative therapy. The Assembly Hall served as place of recreation and worship for the patients. The Assembly Hall eventually fell into decline and was closed in 1979. In 1998, the former city of Etobicoke approved capital funds to restore the Assembly Hall as a community cultural centre. The restoration project wedded the original brick structure with a modern glass atrium that provides a bright and airy entrance way to the Assembly Hall. The beautiful 200+ seat Performance Hall on the second floor is a venue for music, theatre, dance, receptions and special events. Community rooms on the ground floor host art classes, meetings, workshops and rehearsals. Gallery spaces for visual arts are located throughout the building. The Assembly Hall is a rental facility operated by the Culture Division of the City of Toronto. Reasonably priced space is available for public and private use.
