Visit us on FaceBook: Central Neighbourhood House 100th Anniversary
Come experience an archival photo exhibit showcasing the first four decades of the 100 year old Central Neighbourhood House, as well as a short documentary that celebrates the campaign theme 100 Years of Neighbours. Historians and local photographers will be on hand to offer insight into the organization’s rich history. A visit to the Rooftop Garden and Playground, as well as tours of the building, will be available.
Completed in 1970, Central Neighbourhood House (CNH) is built on the former site of three detached Cabbagetown homes sold to CNH for $1. The organization had to raise $700,000 to build it, a significant cost in those days. One of the unique features of this space is the rooftop garden and playground, used by the organization’s award winning daycare. While rooftop gardens might seem to be a recent craze, CNH was ahead of the times by having one in 1929 at their former location on Sherbourne Street. In 1994, a building expansion was completed. CNH opened its doors for the first time in September 1911, and is celebrating with a slate of celebratory events, as well as documenting its history with the restoration of photographs going back to 1911, a number of which will form an exhibit in May. Several of these document the major reconstruction by Black and Moffatt Architects in 1994.
Parking lot is free of charge but limited. Street parking is also free but very limited.
