Note: The first mention of the Theatre Francais building in the Ottawa Journal was on February 20, 1913, and the opening was announced for June 23, 1913. Furthermore the 1912 Ottawa insurance plan describes the site being excavated as of May 1912. This suggests that the 1910 date provided for the Toronto Public Library entry is incorrect.
