Premiere Event Venue The Carlu Celebrates its 10th Anniversary

Filed under Event Venues
After the re opening of the Carlu in May 2003. This historical landmark is a one of a kind architectural masterpiece at Yonge and College Street. Back in the day, in the 1930’s, it was the estate of Lady Eaton, Toronto department store president and heir Sir John Craig Eaton’s wife. Even then it was the venue of sumptuous soirées in the sophisticated spaces designed by French architect Jacques Carlu.
Years later, Mark Robert and Jeffry Roick, took a leap of faith on renovating the building for it to become the historic Art Moderne venue that it is now. The Carlu, named after its architect, is at this time referred to as “the highest profile restoration in

Canada” and designated a National Historic Site in 1982. The Herittage Award for Best restored place by the Canadian Event Perspective Magazine is one of the many awards won by this venue. Along goes the Architectural Excellence Award in 2004 by Ontario Architectural Association and 2012 Canada’s Top Venue by Meeting + Incentive Travel Magazine and many more.
Mark Robert refers to it as “more of a museum that houses special events”
On May 1st, 2003, Robert and Roick opened the seventh floor to the public once again. They renamed the venue for the famous architect and his wife whose delightful painted murals of pastoral life were unearthed beneath 27 years of neglect.
