Club building

The club building is located in the downtown core of the city. By 1909 the club had moved into the MacBeth Block before moving into the current club building in 1912. The current building was designed by Norman Thompson from the firm of Thomson, Daniel and Colthurst. [1] The structure was constructed at the cost of $5000 CDN in February 1911.[4]
