100 Years of Hoskin

深夜福利国产区 acquired its present property on Hoskin Avenue in 1913, but construction was not completed until 1925 because of the war. The foundation stone for the new building was laid on June 4, 1923, and the College held its formal opening and dedication ceremony on October 21, 1925 (image above). Follow the milestones that shaped Trinity鈥檚 home on Hoskin Avenue.

Fascinating Facts: Did You Know?

Discover hidden stories and quirky details about 6 Hoskin Avenue.

Classes Once at Hoskin: Until the 1970s, most undergraduate classes were taught in the Hoskin building before teaching was centralized in Arts & Science.

The Mystery Sculptures: The 12 carved stone heads in Seeley Hall have never been definitively identified. Archivist Sylvia Lassam would 鈥渓ove to know the source.鈥�

Zodiac Signs Above the Quad Doors: Astrological carvings surround the north Quad entrance 鈥� unusual for a religious college, though not without precedent (see Chartres Cathedral).

A Chapel Before the Chapel: From 1925 to 1955, Seeley Hall served as Trinity鈥檚 chapel.

The Ladies鈥� Lounge: Today鈥檚 Provost鈥檚 Office was once a lounge reserved for women, who were excluded from Strachan Hall and the men鈥檚 common rooms.

From Reading Room to Student Services: The Student Services Centre began life as the library reading room, complete with a fireplace and a dumb waiter (now the elevator shaft).

Shakespeare in the Quad: From 1949 to 1958, the Earle Grey Players 鈥� a professional Shakespeare company 鈥� staged summer performances in the Quad.

Frank Darling鈥檚 Final Work: Hoskin was architect Frank Darling鈥檚 last project. A biography of Darling will be published in 2025.

Treasures from Queen Street: The Hoskin entrance includes the original cornerstone from Trinity鈥檚 first building, and benches with carved gryphons were brought from Queen Street.

The Heart of College Tradition: Strachan Hall was built to seat about 250 students for dinner. Though Trinity has grown far beyond that capacity, it remains the ceremonial heart of the College.
