Built in 1928-33 by Ross and MacDonald, Sproatt and Rolph Associates to house the Eaton’s College Street store, it remains a fine example of early twentieth century classical commercial building design and an important landmark within the City. Examples of the fine materials and workmanship displayed on the exterior elevations are evident as well in the major interiors of the building. Most notable among these is the seventh floor “art deco” Auditorium (theatre / concert hall), the Round Room (restaurant), and their adjoining foyer designed by French architect Jacques Carlu.
