    A scarce poster from the Scarboro (sic) Fire Fighter’s for their 10th annual ball held at Toronto’s Palace Pier. Trump Davidson led the a dance band at the Palace Pier from 1944 to 1962.

    The Palace Pier was located west of the mouth of the Humber River and south of Lake Shore Boulevard West. “The vision of a grand lakefront amusement pier was conceived in the 1920s as a rival for the neighbourhood. The pier was designed by Cyril and Madil with various structures in a flamboyant Moroccan style of architecture and was to project 1800 feet into Lake Ontario and terminating with a steamboat landing. Financial difficulties in the early 1930s delayed construction. Only the first phase of the of the redesigned amusement pier, 300 feet long, was opened on June 10, 1941 and it became popular as a major dance hall of the big band era during World War two and the post war years. The pier was destroyed by fire in 1963 and the site was later developed into condominiums and a public park.” (torontohistory.net)
