About This Item
Toronto: Firefly, 2003. 304 pp, square (10 7/8" H x 10 7/8" D). Profusely illustrated with colour photographs, 2 maps. "(O)utlines the signature architectural styles that left their mark on Toronto's ordered streets and discusses how they contributed to the unique neighbourhoods that developed across the city. Starting with Henry Scadding's simple log house built in 1794 near the Don River, the book moves through more than twenty signature styles: sophisticated Georgian, simple Regency, Gothic, Victorian, Greek Revival, Dutch Colonial and many more, ending with Lawren Harris's sleek art deco house in Forest HIll. With 250 houses and more than 350 colour pictures, 'Old Toronto Houses' focuses on ten outstanding Toronto neighbourhoods. From simple labourers' cottages in Cabbagetown to secluded mansions in Bayview Heights, the architecture of houses reflects the changing needs and tastes of Toronto's citizens during the last two hundred years." Slight waviness to the edges of the text block. Dust jacket has light wrinkling at the top edge of the spine and the front panel. A 'Heritage Toronto' excellence award label on the front panel... Not Signed. First Edition.. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good -. Illus. by John de Visser, photography..
