    According to owners:
    In their heyday, large urban department stores were centres for more than just shopping. Natural meeting places, and accessible by public transport, they were venues for art exhibits, trade shows, music recitals, public lectures and fine dining. Large restaurants with multi-functional space became a standard feature of such stores, and few were as well known as Simpsons Arcadian Court.

    Located in the heart of downtown Toronto in the Bay, Queen Street, the Arcadian Court opened on March 11, 1929 as part of the latest building extension to Simpsons Queen Street store. Art Deco was the governing design influence on this period of renovations and additions to the store, and the two storey arcade on the 8th floor was no exception. Wrought iron railings, large arched windows, plush carpeting and huge chandeliers hanging from forty foot ceilings all served to enhance a majestic space decorated in pastel colours of turquoise and beige.
