Building
The building is built in a "Richardsonian Romanesque" style favoured by Lennox. Its exterior is sandstone, a material that Lennox used in other buildings in Toronto such as the Old City Hall and the Legislative Building in Queen's Park nearby. An indoor pool was built in the basement. The building is approximately 4,000 square metres (43,000 sq ft) in size.
