It was initially housed in one large room of the Sports Hall of Fame building on the C.N.E. Grounds. By 1960 more space was needed to accommodate the growing number of hockey displays and mementos.
Through the efforts of the National Hockey League, the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association, the Canadian National Exhibition and the City of Toronto, a new building for the Hockey Hall of Fame was designed and built in 1960-61. The Sports Hall of Fame was housed in one wing of this new structure. The first curator of the Hockey Hall of Fame was R.W. "Bobby" Hewitson (1892-1969). Upon Mr. Hewitson's retirement in 1967, Mr. M.H. "Lefty" Reid of Scarboro, Ontario became curator.Additional information:General note:Textual material was microfilmed in 1970 and 1973 by the National Archives from originals in the possession of the Hockey Hall of Fame, Toronto, Ont.
