The Adelaide Street Court House, also known as York County Court House, was built between 1851-1852. It served as Toronto’s third court house from 1852 until 1900 when the courts moved to Old City Hall. In 1909 The Arts and Letters Club of Toronto occupied the space for meetings. This is where the Group of Seven was formed.
