"The five-storey building was originally constructed as the headquarters of the Methodist Church of Canada in 1913 by Burke, Horwood and White. The Methodists joined with two other denominations to form the United Church of Canada in 1925. The building served as the United Church's headquarters until 1959. By this time the Ryerson Press, originally the publishing arm of the Methodist Church, had grown to occupy the entire building. The building was purchased by CHUM in 1985, and was re-opened in May 1987 as the new headquarters for the company and its various outlets."

Staff members have reported poltergeist type phenomena in the mens bathroom on the 4th floor, which includes lights turning off and on and toilets flushing when the room is empty. The board room on the 4th floor has also been the scene of poltergeist activity involving lights, and electrical equipment. The cleaning staff are reportedly scared to go to the 4th floor at night.

A dark shadow has been seen in the sub basement of the building, an area normally not accessible to the public.
