Before the CN Tower defined Toronto’s skyline, the city had another great landmark — a palace made of glass and iron that dazzled visitors for nearly half a century. Known as Toronto’s Crystal Palace, it was the pride of the Industrial Exhibition and a symbol of progress and ambition.

In this video, we dive into the full story of Toronto’s Crystal Palace: why it was built, what it meant to the city, and how its fiery destruction changed the course of Toronto’s history.
