Senior Exec @MasseyHall and @RoyThomsonHall, rebuilding Massey Hall, lifelong fan of the Cleveland Browns, Virginia and live music anywhere! Opinions are mine!

[Grant Troop @dgtroop]

Thank you for the support, and your passion for live music. #masseyhallforever

Fun fact about the "fly loft" in this article. These were originally side boxes for patrons to view over the stage - this one at gallery level. Circa 1910 these boxes were altered, first for organ pipes, then for a fly loft. Sides boxes visible at far left of the photo.

Despite renovations, Massey Hall will always remain a vital part of Toronto’s social history https://t.co/PZ82HLCytb @GlobeArts

My pleasure - hard to believe @MasseyHall has been closed for one year but we are getting closer. #masseyhallforever

[David McPherson @mcphersoncomm]

Thanks to @dgtroop for the tour of @masseyhall yesterday. Incredible to see all the nooks & crannies of the Old Dame as she gets a makeover & revitalization. Incredible to witness the restoration work & visualize what is to come. #masseyhallforever

New steel truss installed next to 1894 steel in the over stage area of the roof structure. Thanks to @mcphersoncomm for accompanying me. #ellisdon #masseyhallforever

[Grant Troop @dgtroop]

On cue, new steel truss being lifted into place. This will replace 1894 steel - 125 years of faithful service but time to increase load capacity. #ellisdon #masseyhallforever @masseyhall

[Grant Troop @dgtroop]

New steel #truss for the #masseyhall roof structure over the stage. Assembled outside and to be craned into place morning of June 27. #ellisdon #masseyhallforever

Worth a visit for lovers of history, #livemusic or both!

[Grant Troop @dgtroop]

So people are asking - what are these @masseyhall ceiling adornments? They are original 1894 ventilator grilles that were repurposed for electrical lighting in the 1920's. An unexpected discovery hidden for 100 years. #masseyhallforever Plaster restoration in progress.

[Grant Troop @dgtroop]

Some behind-the-scenes from the #cbcthenational Behind the Scenes tour of the @masseyhall revitalization. A great time was had, we did climb much further than intended and both Ian and Jim are welcome back anytime as we work on this 🇨🇦national treasure.

[Grant Troop @dgtroop]

#tbt #Heritage restoration of original stonework @masseyhall bringing the façade back to it's pre-1911 appearance seen in the #blackandwhite photo. Fire escapes later to this 1894 🇨🇦 #nationalhistoricsite significantly altered the original appearance. #livemusic 🎼

[Grant Troop @dgtroop]

Remember when @masseyhall had inadequate hospitality and rest facilities for pre-show and intermission get togethers? No more, check out the floor plate for our new balcony level lounge! #heritage #livemusic #masseyhallforever #nationalhistoricsite #ellisdon 🇨🇦🎼

[Grant Troop @dgtroop]

#masseyhallmoment The architectural details in the hall are really quite amazing and somewhat unique for the time. Here are few images pre-July 2018 closing. All under restoration. #masseyhallforever

[Grant Troop @dgtroop]

Restructuring the 1894 #masseyhall by needling new steel columns into the building - to take the weight of future additions, coming soon. Thanks to #WaltersSteel and #EllisDon for the steering!

[Grant Troop @dgtroop]

Check out the great comments about #masseyhall by #SteveEarle in the last paragraph. https://t.co/FNoAOSU6If We promise not to screw it up, Steve!

[Grant Troop @dgtroop]

Pretty #fox y! Seeing lots of these gorgeous creatures in urban #Toronto

[Grant Troop @dgtroop]

#masseyhallmoment Who wants to rock like it's...late 2020! You're looking at the eventual floor plate of the huge Balcony level lounge for the revitalized @masseyhall. Get ready to be called to the bar, live music lovers! 🎤🎸

[Grant Troop @dgtroop]

Unbelievable. Way to go #bluejackets! Now get ready for the #mapleleafs. I do want to hear that cannon roar, but maybe just once.

[SN Ohio @SN_Ohio]

The Columbus Blue Jackets just swept the 62 win (tied for most wins in NHL history) Tampa Bay Lightning.

You read that right.

[Grant Troop @dgtroop]

Wonder where this window goes? Hmmmm…….
Apparently, there are 93 separate windows each with two to three sashes being restored. That's a lot of windows!

[Jee-Yun Lee @JeeYunTV]

Original @masseyhall stained glass windows being cleaned, repaired & restored. These incredible pieces date back to 1890’s. #MasseyHall closed July 1, 2018 w/ Gordon Lightfoot concert. It’s undergoing a massive revitalization project and will re-open late 2020 #toronto #History
