Built in 1909 (by architect George Gouinlock) and carefully restored, this beaux arts beauty retains its Edwardian charm and dignity. The former banking hall, now known as the Gallery, seats up to 120 and feels like a grand ballroom. With its high ceilings, gilt details, marble staircase and three chandeliers, it could double as a set for My Fair Lady. (Cinderella Man and other movies have been shot here.) One of the last manually operated elevators in the city delivers guests from the first to the second floor and the Birkbeck Room, which looks onto Adelaide Street through oak-trimmed Romanesque-style windows. The room is often used for wedding ceremonies and receptions. A small oak-panelled boardroom suits private dinners and bridal prep. A private entrance (8 Adelaide Street) leads into the Gallery.
