As I’ve visited with alumni in different corners of the world this year, they have spoken to me about their most prominent memories of their time at TCS: certainly the lifelong friendships created here, but also the faculty and staff, teams, plays, trips, meal times and pranks contribute to their picture of life at the School. But the strong visual memory they have of this beautiful campus is also a mainstay of their lasting affection for the School on the Hill. In recent years, we have added several new facilities to our Recognizing the importance of ensuring the ongoing main- 100-acre campus, including the visual arts wing; Cirne Hall, with tenance of our facilities, and also the desire to promote environ- its renovated administration, library and academic support areas mentally sensitive design, the School has embarked upon the TCS and the new commons; and the Arnold Massey ’55 Athletic Centre.

Now, we turn our attention to our historic campus buildings. Following the two major school fires – in 1895 and 1928 – TCS rose from the ashes through the generosity of donors. Some of our Stuart Grainger oldest buildings still include bricks from previous versions of the Headmaster [email protected] School. The challenge of these historic gems, is that features such as www.tcs.on.ca/headlines heating, plumbing and windows also are from another era! spring 2018 I tcs news I 1 FEATURE Darlings of History rediscovering our heritage campus Over the course of the 153-year history of Trinity College School, generations of students have stepped onto this campus with a sense of awe and wonder. To be a part of TCS is to be a part of a legacy, a story that is reflected in each of our buildings. There is no doubt that TCS is a beautiful place at which to study, to work, to play and to visit. And so we look back at the tales of some of our oldest structures to understand how the picturesque School on the Hill came to be. 2 I spring 2018 I tcs news Opposite page: A drawing of Osler Hall used in a 1929 brochure to announce the start of construction and raise further funds for the school rebuild 1 The Lodge in 1907 2 Boulden House under construction the lodge Completed in 1882 The oldest existing building on campus, The Lodge was completed in 1882 at a cost of less than $5,000.

  • The Knox Ottawa Building
    THE KNOX OTTAWA BUILDING Although it looks ancient, the current Knox Church was built in 1932. It is the third building occupied by this congregation since its founding in 1844. It outgrew its first building, and lost its second, on what was then City Hall Square, to expropriation when the Prime Minister, William Lyon Mackenzie King, decided that the National War Memorial would be a centerpiece of the capital. Prime Minister King was a member of St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, still situated on Wellington only a few blocks west of Knox’s location at that time, but he took a personal interest in the new building. The distinctive square Norman tower was his suggestion. The architect for Knox was Henry Sproatt. Born in Toronto in 1866, he trained in Europe and New York and was a Fellow of the Royal Institute of British Architects. Before designing Knox, he had designed many buildings on the University of Toronto campus including Victoria College, Burwash Hall, Hart House, Soldier’s Clarion Tower and the Princess Margaret Hospital. Here in Ottawa he also designed the National Research Council Laboratories on Sussex Street. The rough stonework is local Nepean Sandstone. The dressed stonework around the doors, the copings and the tracery of the windows is of Wallace sandstone from Nova Scotia, and the walls of the sanctuary are lined with Savoniere stone from France. The columns and archways, and the frieze over the elder’s seats in the chancel are of Devon stone, precut and dressed in France then shipped to Canada. Travertine marble, imported from Italy, was used for the floors, bases of the columns pulpit, lectern and elder’s seats – and for the baptismal font, which was cut from a single block.

  • 2669-2673 Lake Shore Boulevard West
    STAFF REPORT ACTION REQUIRED Intention to Designate under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act – 2669-2673 Lake Shore Boulevard West Date: April 20, 2011 Toronto Preservation Board To: Etobicoke York Community Council From: Acting Director, Policy & Research, City Planning Division Wards: Ward 6 – Etobicoke-Lakeshore Reference P:\2011\Cluster B\PLN\HPS\EYCC\May 25 2011\eyHPS02 Number: SUMMARY This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate the properties at 2669-2673 Lake Shore Boulevard West (Gardener’s Cottage, Fetherstonhaugh Estate) under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act. At its meeting of February 16, 2011, the Etobicoke York Community Council deferred consideration of a report (January 27, 2011) from the Director and Deputy Chief Building Official on a demolition control application to its meeting of May 25, 2011, and requested Heritage Preservation Services to report at that time on the potential heritage value of the building. Following research and evaluation, staff have determined that the properties at 2669- 2673, containing a gardener’s cottage associated with the former Fetherstonhaugh Estate, meet the criteria for municipal designation prescribed by the Province of Ontario for its cultural heritage value. The designation of the properties would enable Council to refuse demolition, control alterations to the sites, and enforce heritage property standards. Staff report for action – 2669-2673 Lake Shore Boulevard West - Intention to Designate 1 RECOMMENDATIONS The City Planning Division recommends that: 1. City Council include the properties at 2669-2673 Lake Shore Boulevard West (Gardener’s Cottage, Fetherstonhaugh Estate) on the City of Toronto Inventory of Heritage Properties.

    REPORT FOR ACTION Intention to Designate under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, Alterations to Designated Heritage Properties, and Authority to Enter into a Heritage Easement Agreement - 80 and 84 Queen's Park Date: September 2, 2020 To: Toronto Preservation Board Toronto and East York Community Council From: Senior Manager, Heritage Planning, Urban Design, City Planning Wards: Ward 11 - University - Rosedale SUMMARY This report recommends that City Council state its intention to designate 80 and 84 Queen's Park under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act and give authority to enter into Heritage Easement Agreement(s) for these properties. This report also recommends that City Council approve the proposed alterations for the heritage properties at 80 and 84 Queen's Park, in connection with a Zoning Amendment Application by the University of Toronto (UofT) to permit the construction of a new 9- storey institutional building for the University's Centre for Civilizations, Cultures and Cities (“CCC”) at 78-90 Queen's Park. The new building would be situated in the interstitial space between Falconer Hall and the Edward Johnson Building. It would be integrated into the back of Falconer Hall with a link to the Edward Johnson Building. The conservation strategy for the heritage properties proposes to retain both the Edward Johnson Building at 80 Queen's Park and Falconer Hall at 84 Queen's Park but the McLaughlin Planetarium at 90 Queen's Park would be demolished. The proposed new 43m high building (including mechanical penthouse) would not affect any of the protected views of Queen's Park and it is setback approximately 36 metres from the Queen's Park frontage in order to lessen its visual impact on this important avenue that links Bloor Street to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario.
