Car pulling up to 519 Church Street, Toronto for opening of the Old Comrades Association Club, 1946.

With the return of the 1st Battalion, 48th Highlanders after World War II, membership in the OCA swelled and the Association took over a building at 519 Church Street, originally the home of the Granite Club. On 26 May 1946, in front of the Regiment, family and thousands of citizens, the Governor-General, His Excellency, Field Marshall Viscount Alexander of Tunis, KG, GCB, GCMG, GSI, DSO, MC opened the 48th Highlanders Memorial Hall.

The Memorial Hall would be their home for the next twenty-seven years. Then, as the years passed and with numbers declining, they moved again. Furthermore, the City had declared the Memorial Hall building structurally unsound, though it remains today. P1119
