Description: Constructed as a movie theatre in 1919, The Danforth Music Hall is a music venue and event theatre at 147 Danforth Ave in Toronto Canada. After many name and owner changes over the years, the building was designated a City Of Toronto Heritage Property in 1985. On a personal note, one of the best shows I ever saw (even after all this time) was The Clash in 1979 when the building was called The Rex Danforth Theatre. I still have bruises from that night :) Original photography from 2014 using a Canon EOS 60D body with a Sigma 17-70mm f2.8 DC Macro OS lens.

"When finished, the building generated controversy among many people who felt that it was "too futuristic" for the city." (Thank you to a Wiki...
