Since 1920, St. George's Hall has housed the renowned Arts and Letters Club. Founded in 1908 by a group of men involved in the arts, the Club has been a gathering place for artists and their patrons and has encouraged the organization of new artistic communities. With its long oak tables, timbered ceiling, and baronial fireplace, the Great Hall has provided a congenial setting for stimulating conversation and a venue for pageants, plays, musical evenings, and art exhibits. Filled with artwork and Club memorabilia, this building eloquently reflects the ideals and history of this important Canadian cultural institution.
