Horse Palace: Riding Academy
When constructed in 1931, the Horse Palace was billed as one of the finest equestrian facilities in Canada and continues to fulfill its traditional role during the annual Canadian National Exhibition and the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair. One "non-traditional" use of the Horse Palace occurred between 1942 and 1946 when the CNE grounds were occupied by the Canadian military. During this era, the Horse Palace was used as a barracks for soldiers waiting to be sent overseas. The Horse Palace has been described as one of the finest Art Deco Buildings in the City of Toronto and possibly in the province and nation. It is located at 140 Princes' Boulevard.
