SILVER

The Silver Dollar Room was a live music venue located next to the main floor of the Hotel Waverly, a four-storey low-rise hotel located in downtown Toronto. Opened in 1900, the hotel was built for J.J. Powell. It is one of the oldest Toronto hotels in continuous operation.
The Room opened in 1958 and closed on May 1, 2017 to be redeveloped as a 15-storey mixed-use building, due to its Heritage Designation Status in 2015 the Silver Dollar will reopen with its distinctive exterior sign and the internal mural reinstated.

Oh to be able to travel to see these murals!


I started a Tuesday Treasures series on Toronto laneways and discovered that I had never posted the murals in the Frank Kovac Lane so I will combine both this week.

The proprietor of a local car repair shop at the corner, Frank had a reputation for honesty, ingenuity, and providing the best possible deal on any repair brought to him.


Bees and Bears by Nick Sweetman.


The rest of the murals were done by a local Girl Guide group and residents.
