celebrated the opening of its grand new department store
at College Street by publishing this special issue of The
Eaton News. The pamphlet includes drawings and descriptions
of the new building and its retail services, including the

talents. In 2003, the restored Round Room and Auditorium
were reopened as The Carlu in honour of the architect.
