It was vacated in 1970,[2] Second City performed there from 1973 until 1997, when it moved to 56 Blue Jays Way (in 2005, the company moved to 51 Mercer Street, and in 2022 it moved to One York Street).[3]
Dan Aykroyd, John Candy, Joe Flaherty, Eugene Levy, Andrea Martin, Mike Myers, Catherine O'Hara, Gilda Radner, Martin Short and Dave Thomas, among others, all got their starts there.
From 2001 until 2011, the Old Fire Hall was the home of Gilda's Club Toronto. Named after Gilda Radner, who had performed with Second City at the Old Fire Hall prior to joining Saturday Night Live, Gilda's Club is a support group and meeting place for people living with cancer.
