Notes
- 280 Queen Street West was purchased in 1950 by the Alexander Duchnovych Society of Carpatho-Russian Canadians and served as a social club. The hall held many concerts and social gatherings, weekly parties with traditional food, singing, music, card games, and dancing through the evenings.[2]
