Studio Building, National historic site in South Rosedale, Canada.

The Studio Building stands as a three-story brick structure with large north-facing windows, designed to provide artists with natural lighting for their work.

Constructed in 1914 by Lawren Harris and Dr. James MacCallum, the building became the first purpose-built artist studio facility in Canada at 25 Severn Street.

The Studio Building served as a central workspace for the Group of Seven painters who created numerous artworks representing Canadian landscapes and nature.

The structure contains six dedicated studio spaces spread across three floors, with additional basement areas designated for storage and work purposes.

Tom Thomson, unable to afford regular studio rent, lived in a small shack beside the main building for one dollar per month during his final winters.
