Automotive Building

The Automotive Building, located at Exhibition Place in Toronto, Ontario, is a historic Art Deco structure that opened in 1929 to accommodate the growing interest in automobiles during the Canadian National Exhibition (CNE). Designed by architect Douglas Kertland, it was once the largest building in North America dedicated to displaying passenger vehicles. After serving various purposes, including as a naval facility during World War II, it was transformed into the Beanfield Centre, a premier conference venue featuring the largest ballroom in Toronto. The building's rich history and architectural significance make it an interesting destination for tourists and researchers alike.
