In 1929, Douglas Kertland was chosen over thirty other Toronto competitors for the honour of being named architect for this building. Kertland's
design is a unique blend of Classical and Modern styles. When it
was first built, the Automotive Building was used to showcase
new car and truck models. During the Second World War it served
as a naval facility. In recent years, the building housed a
variety of trade and consumers shows and special events.
It was recently renovated into a conference centre that
re-opened in October 2009 as the Allstream Centre.
