Aeolian Hall, Heritage performing arts venue in London, Canada.
Description
Aeolian Hall is a two-story building at 795-797 Dundas Street that houses an auditorium on the upper floor. The structure blends Italianate and Second Empire architectural styles in its design and exterior features.
History
The building was constructed between 1883 and 1884 as a Town Hall for East London. Its ground floor operated as a fire station until 1946 before the structure later became an arts venue.
