Summary:
In "Old Toronto houses" Tom Cruickshank and John de Visser take the reader on a tour of old Toronto. Starting with Henry Scadding's simple log house built in 1794 near the Don river, the book moves through more than twenty signature styles : Georgian, Regency, Gothic, Victorian, Greek revival, Dutch colonial and many more, ending with Lawren Harris's sleek art deco house in Forest Hill.
