Massey Hall, Toronto

Massey Hall, Toronto
An old photo re-edited.

Massey Hall was built in 1894 as a place to perform secular choral concerts at modest ticket prices. As you can see, three windows have been punched into the carving of the building's name, and a fire escape was added to the front in the early twentieth century.

Jazz fans know Massey Hall as the site of the Jazz at Massey Hall concert in 1953, the only time Max Roach, Charles Mingus, Bud Powell, Charlie Parker, and Dizzy Gillespie performed together (as The Quintet). So for the Sight and Sound group I offer their performance that night of "Hot House":

===============
It turns out that Massey Hall portrayed the Baltimore movie theatre in The Shape of Water. Since it's a listed building, the marquee and other fittings had to be mounted without touching the building.
