Liberty Grand Building, Designated heritage property in Toronto, Canada.

The Liberty Grand Building is a one-storey reinforced concrete Beaux-Arts structure at Exhibition Place, built of light grey and beige masonry. Its three wings enclose a central open triangular courtyard, and a square tower with a copper-green dome rises beside the arched main entrance, which is reached by wide grey steps. Two carved stone lions flank the steps down to the concrete plaza.

Built between November 1925 and August 1926 by Sullivan and Fried Limited to designs by Chapman and Oxley, the building opened as the New Ontario Government Buildings, giving the provincial government exhibit space at the Canadian National Exhibition. After Ontario moved its exhibits to Ontario Place in 1971, the building hosted general CNE exhibits. In 2000 Toronto approved a 20-year lease with the Liberty Entertainment Group, which spent CA$4.95 million on renovations and reopened it in 2001 as the Liberty Grand.

Since 2001 the building has housed the Liberty Grand Entertainment Complex, whose Governors Room seats up to 1,500 guests and takes its name from a grand oak staircase rising to a mezzanine over the courtyard. The Renaissance and Centennial Rooms mirror each other, with polished Italian marble floors and Renaissance-style columns.

The location is easy to reach and is now primarily used for events, so visitors should check beforehand whether the building is accessible. The grand entrance hall gives a good sense of the room layout when entry is possible.

The interior was left undecorated when the building opened in 1926, functioning much like a warehouse while the exterior was highly ornate. The Liberty Entertainment Group later refinished it with decorations and furnishings matching the exterior, and it reopened in 2001.
