Bringing 1919 Back to Life.

The third phase of the theatre's restoration took on one of the theatre’s greatest challenges: returning the auditorium to the grandeur of its original 1919 design.

Hannivan and Company was brought in to undertake the intricate restoration. The company had previously worked on the restoration of historic theatres in Toronto, including the Elgin and Ed Mirvish.

But recreating the theatre’s original beauty required more than skilled craftsmanship. It required detective work.

Specialized teams researched historical photographs, original documents and the treasures hidden within the building to determine the original patterns, colours and designs.

A swatch of the original carpet. Original opera box seats. Photographs showing the carpet patterns, seat colours, decorative stencils and painted stonework effects.
Piece by piece, the clues came together.

Three Phases. One Remarkable Restoration.

The theatre we know today didn’t come back to life overnight.

From 1987 to 1990, the restoration took place in three carefully planned phases.
The first focused on essential repairs and upgrades, including the ventilation and electrical systems.

The second phase saw the theatre close its doors for construction. The lobby and façade were expanded and restored, with original drawings used to recreate details such as the tile work and carpeting. Even the building’s façade was uncovered and restored, with the new additions designed to complement the original architecture.

Then came the most intricate phase of all.

The auditorium.
