Automotive Building
The Automotive Building was constructed in 1929 and was designed by local architect Douglas Kirkland. Located immediately inside the entrance to the Princes' Gates on the south side of Princes Boulevard, the building was initially used to display the latest car models to the public. During World War II, this building was the home to Toronto's naval reserve, known as HMCS York. A commemorative plaque to this can be found on the north side of the building. In more recent years of the CNE, the Automotive Building has regularly hosted the "Farm, Food and Fun" displays which had previously been hosted in the Agricultural Centre across from the Automotive building.
