Newman Centre, Toronto, Catholic student center at University of Toronto, Canada
The Newman Centre building combines red clay bricks, Credit Valley sandstone, and terra-cotta decorations across its two-and-a-half-story structure at St George Street.
Built in 1891 for grain merchant W.D. Matthews, the property changed hands in 1922 when the Newman Foundation acquired it for Catholic students at secular universities.
The Newman Centre features an Art Nouveau ballroom created in 1899 by architect George M. Miller and sculptor Gustav Hahn for Matthews' daughter's wedding.
The center provides student accommodation, drop-in facilities, and community spaces across from Robarts Library on the University of Toronto campus.
The structure maintains five original verandahs and displays a combination of Romanesque Revival and Queen Anne architectural elements with ornate terracotta details.
