Why this petition matters

Started by Mat Ador

466 Dovercourt (The Matador ) is a both, a Local and National Treasure and should be provided  heritage status to protect it from demolition,  both now and in the future. 

Quoting City of Toronto Ward 9  Councillor Ana Bailão in her :" Request for Heritage Designation at 466 Dovercourt Rd. (The Matador Ballroom)"

"The property at 466 Dovercourt Road was originally constructed in 1915 for the purpose of a mixed use building containing non-residential uses on the basement and the ground floor level and residential uses on the second floor. In 1916, the Davis Assembly Hall opened and served the local community for many years. In 1964, the Matador Club opened as a country music venue and was a popular destination for Torontonians and tourists alike, until its closure in 2007. The building features a beautiful interior that was recently discovered as part of renovation work by the current owner (now former owner) . The local community is aware of these unique heritage characteristics and would like to ensure that the historical richness of this property is protected, regardless of future change of use and/or development."
