The Terrace was the name of the roller rink at 68–88 Mutual Street in Toronto, Ontario and they were in a building once called. Mutual Street Arena. Originally called Arena Gardens or just the Arena. In fact, they had roller skating during the days when it was called Mutual Street Arena.
It was first opened in 1912 as Arena Gardens. It was an arena with seating of 6,000 fans or when standing, it had 7,500 hockey fans watching a hockey game. The rink was originally mechanical Ice rink (from what I seen in photo, appeared to be NHL standard size).
The building was designed by Architects Ross and McFarlane of Montreal. The building was constructed by Peter Lyall & Sons Limited (Shares Offering. The Globe. March 6, 1912. p. 12) for 500,000 CAN. D. (389,720 USD) in 1912 value. Adjusted for inflation using 1913, it would have been 11,380,965.60 USD. That is cheap to built. Consider this, the cost for a major stadium today is a lot more than that. This complex was actually an arena, or stadium rather than a standard roller rink.
it had a rich history -- The first home of the Toronto Maple Leafs, who played at the Arena under various names for their first 13 and seasons. The Arena Gardens was the third rink in Canada to feature a mechanically frozen or 'artificial' ice surface (Shea's Amphitheatre opened in 1909 and Patrick Arena opened in 1911), and for eleven years was the only such facility in eastern Canada. In 1923, it was the site of the first radio broadcast of an ice hockey game, the first radio broadcast of an NHL game, and the first broadcast of an ice hockey game by long-time broadcaster Foster Hewitt. A lot of firsts. (Wikipedia).
The Arena hosted a number of musical concerts, gatherings and other sporting events, including professional boxing, cycling, wrestling, and tennis. In 1962, it was converted to a curling club and roller skating rink known as The Terrace. The building was demolished in 1989 and the Cathedral Square residential complex and Arena Gardens municipal park now occupy the site.
So, roller skating was only operational from 1938 to 1962, renovated in 1962, and operated again 1962 to 1989.
Deeper history showed they were opened by the Toronto Arena Company, which was organized on 19 September 1911. They owned the rink.
There were delays in construction forcing the teams not able to play during the 1911–12 season, as was originally scheduled. They delayed because of the 12 miles (19 km) of piping for the artificial ice was installed improperly and had to be reinstalled in December 1912. Finally, the first professional ice hockey game in the building was on 21 December 1912, an exhibition between the Montreal Canadiens and Montreal Wanderers.
In 1931, the professional hockey teams left the Arena for good and they had other sports functions however, they were losing money and forcing the building to be up for sale that year. They could not even pay property taxes so the Arena was put up for sale by the City of Toronto in 1937.
In 1938, the Arena was leased to Edward "Ted" Dickson who turned it into a recreation facility offering ice skating in winter and roller skating in summer. The name was changed that year to the Mutual Street Arena.
The Glenn Miller Orchestra played at the Arena in January 1942 which was the only appearance in Toronto for the Glen Miller and his band. Frank Sinatra made his first appearance in Toronto at the same arena in 1949. Roller hockey was introduced to the Arena in the late 1940s. Hank Williams Sr played a concert at the Arena in 1952.
Ted Dickson finally bought the building in 1945 and it remained as family-owned and operated for the next 43 years. The arena was renovated for $3 million (CAN) in 1962, adding 18 curling sheets, year-round roller skating, a parking garage and a new façade. The Arena was renamed The Terrace, a name it kept until it was sold in 1988. It closed its doors for good on 30 April 1989, and was demolished a few months later. The site was converted into a residential development with some of the site reserved for a city park. The Terrace name was retained for one of the residential buildings. In May 2011, the name of the city park on the site was changed from Cathedral Square Park to Arena Gardens.
Hey Lisa and Helen, I know how you feel. I know it really hits you both hard and you were crying. I saw that on the video and the photos in that article. Well, ladies, i got good news for you, your memories are still alive here at Dead-Rinks... this very page! Enjoy!
UPDATE! -- 26 July 2022.
I just received an email from a Steve who skated at this rink. He has a lot of corrections and additium to post on here. Here is a copy and paste he has to say and this profile has updated after all.
I was just looking at you article about the Terrace. I hope you don't mind some corrections as I skated and worked at both rinks. The sign on building if you look carefully you will find the word "the" in the curlyque of the "T " [Oh yes! I can see now clearly the tiny "The" inside the cursive of "T" Fantastic!]
The renovated building had 4 floors [as the] main floor was parking [garage] (original ice surface ) main floor lobby with escalator or elevator (later closed ). [Wow, 4 floors!]
[The] second floor curling sheets and Fancy Dan bar/restaurant. [The] third floor roller rink and smaller ice rink ( later closed ) 4th.floor.
Storage and office area (was going to be 3 lane bowling never built. ) Now the old ice surface you said was 230 x 95 and supposedly the Rink surface was 200 x 85 The bleachers were removed and the lobby area now was less floor area than the bleachers had taken up. Therefore the roller rink surface must be more than the ice rink surface.. I'm still working on that.
Anyway you are looking for photos of the rink ? I shot 3 rolls of film when the rink closed. Are you interested in looking at them ? [YES, would love that!]
Cheers Sherlock.
Thank you!
The Interior.
Mutual Street Arena: They had arena style high ceiling for a professional hockey and sports to be played with 6000 spectators watching a game or a show. They had mechanized artificial ice surface for a ice rink on the first floor.
A skater stated on Facebook that they had 2 rinks. A beginner rink which was smaller and the larger for standard skaters. For sure the walls were split. I believe this occurred in 1930s or later for the split.
The Terrace: The renovation especially in 1962 had overall redone both interior and exterior. This was to modernize and follow the trend of Minimalist, Mid-Century, or Big Box style on nearly every department stores in North America. The interior was truly updated. I reviewed dozens of photos on Facebook group and I did not really see anything that show major changes. However, I did not see the bleachers as seen in as The Arena. I believe it was removed. Likely two rinks, and they added things that many roller rinks commonly had. Such as lockers.

The Exterior.
Mutual Street Arena: Classic arena appearance with windows, high roofline, Gabled, and it had Free-Span Steel Trusses Blocks - Walls. Blocks were light colored. All I have are black-and-white photos. Likely light gray stone colored blocks or Light Sand color.
The Terrace: The renovation in 1962 totally modernized the exterior to make it look Mid- Century Minimalist or Modernism of 1960s look. This was to give much updated look arena style. Covered up windows, White Sand color section.
The font-- You would find it interesting with the name "The" inside the looped or curved letter "T" See photos. Some of them have it, others do not because maybe the manufacturers of those merchandise could not add that inside. But the flyer showed the official logo which was the same on the signs outside. The "The" was capitalized Ariel font as the rest, "Terrance" is Script Font I am a fan of unique fonts. Actually this one is one of the most unique and most formal logo for a roller rink. Clearly this rink center and logo were both truly class. Sadly they are not around anymore.
Instead, they had futuristic looking building with a flair called Script Font. Modern meets classic. At those days in 1960s, combination of both new future meets with classic.
Unfortunately, the building was demolished in 1989 to make way for housing -- apartment buildings. Sadly the future ended in the past.
