The Studio Building's was built in 1913-1914 near the Rosedale Ravine and was financed by Lawren Harris and Dr. James MacCallum. It is the first purpose-built artist studio in Canada and was used by many prominent Canadian artists, including members of the Group of Seven. It is a 3-storey, rectangular building. Notable architectural features include the functional design, simple aesthetic, focus on natural light through large windows, and modernist flat roof. It is clad in red brick. It's use as a studio space is evident in the minimalist interior layout. In 2004, it was designated as a National Historic Site because of its use as a purpose-built artist studio, its association with the Group of Seven, an example of 20th century industrial architecture, and it's use as an artist's studio that contributed to Canadian painting.
