The Old Fire Hall, Fire station edifice in Toronto, Canada
The Old Fire Hall at 20 Balmoral Avenue features red brick walls, stone trim, and a prominent tower with round-headed windows and prominent voussoirs.
The Balmoral Fire Hall, constructed in 1911 under architect Robert McCallum's design, served as a central fire station in Toronto until its repurposing.
Many performers who later became entertainment stars, including Dan Aykroyd, John Candy, and Mike Myers, started their careers at this location.
The building maintains its original rectangular structure with large vehicle doors, incorporating modern adaptations while preserving historical architectural elements.
Between 2001 and 2011, the building housed Gilda's Club Toronto, providing support services for individuals affected by cancer treatments.
