The only public hall in London is the monument of the late Dr. Aquilla Toland. It is located on the east side of the main street, near the I. B. & W. R. R., and forms part of what is known as Toland Block. In the summer of 1866, Dr. Toland contracted with Edwin Bird for an addition to his premises there situated, of one storeroom, and to erect a hall over that and an adjoining room, to be 75x38 feet in the clear, with an eighteen-foot ceiling. The hall was completed and opened December 4, 1866, by a grand concert given by the De Beriot Club of Columbus. The hall, on that evening, was crowded to its utmost capacity; not only all of the seats were occupied, but a large number were compelled to avail themselves of standing positions. There were present over five hundred people. The hall was damaged by the fire in that vicinity September 30, 1867, but was immediately repaired and refitted, and re-opened December 12, 1867, by a musical entertainment given by members of the Mænnerchor Association of Columbus. The hall is comfortably seated and tastily frescoed. It has a medium-sized stage, which is supplied with the usual scenery required for ordinary plays and show performances.
