A staple of the Toronto music scene, the building was first coined "The Cameron House" in 1896 and by the 1920's it was a working hotel.
A home to local bands and artists since 1981 it has been described as a Toronto crossover of CBGB's and The Chelsea Hotel in New York. It remains a cultural hub on Queen West, providing musicians a place to perform, meet, mingle, drink, live and work.
