Horticulture Building, Heritage building at Exhibition Place, Toronto, Canada
The Horticulture Building features a single-story layout with a prominent glass dome entrance and classical details reflecting Beaux-Arts architectural principles.
Constructed in 1907 following the destruction of Toronto's Crystal Palace by fire, this structure was designed by architect George Wallace Gouinlock for horticultural displays.
The building holds National Historic Site status alongside four other Exhibition Place structures, representing early 20th-century institutional architecture in Toronto.
Located at 15 Saskatchewan Road, the building currently operates as Toronto Event Centre, hosting corporate events and various public gatherings throughout the year.
During World War II, from 1942 to 1946, the building served as Quartermaster Stores for Canadian armed forces, later becoming an emergency morgue in 1949.
