  • Wychwood Park Wychwood Park Sits on a Height of Land That Was Once the Lake Iroquois Shore
    Wychwood Park Wychwood Park sits on a height of land that was once the Lake Iroquois shore. The source for Taddle Creek lies to the north and provides the water for the pond found in the centre of the Park. Today, Taddle Creek continues under Davenport Road at the base of the escarpment and flows like an underground snake towards the Gooderham and Worts site and into Lake Ontario. Access to this little known natural area of Toronto is by two entrances one at the south, where a gate prevents though traffic, and the other entrance at the north end, off Tyrell Avenue, which provides the regular vehicular entrance and exit. A pedestrian entrance is found between 77 and 81 Alcina Avenue. Wychwood Park was founded by Marmaduke Matthews and Alexander Jardine in the third quarter of the 19th century. In 1874, Matthews, a land- scape painter, built the first house in the Park (6 Wychwood Park) which he named “Wychwood,” after Wychwood Forest near his home in England. The second home in Wychwood Park, “Braemore,” was built by Jardine a few years later (No. 22). When the Park was formally established in 1891, the deed provided building standards and restrictions on use. For instance, no commercial activities were permitted, there were to be no row houses, and houses must cost not less than $3,000. By 1905, other artists were moving to the Park. Among the early occupants were the artist George A. Reid (Uplands Cottage at No. 81) and the architect Eden Smith (No. 5). Smith designed both 5 and 81, as well as a number of others, all in variations of the Arts and Crafts style promoted by C.F.A.

  • Casa Loma Heritage Conservation District Study | Report | July, 2018 EVOQ ARCHITECTURE CHARACTER ANALYSIS
    CHARACTER ANALYSIS VIEWS AND GATEWAYS General views were noted and analyzed by the consultant team during the initial site visits and further refined after the public consultation meetings. While no specific views or vistas were identified beyond those of Casa Loma, a number of gateways entering and exiting the community were noted. These gateways help define a sense of place by situating the viewer with respect to the immediate surroundings and can create a sense of entrance and transition from one area to another. Important gateways of the Casa Loma HCD study area include: • The intersection of Walmer and Davenport Roads, where Spadina Road ends and the road curves around Casa Loma • The intersection of St. Clair and Wells Hill Avenues, where most resident access their neighbourhood • The intersection of Cottingham Road and Glen Edyth Figure 210: Walmer Road curving around Casa Loma Drive, the only access point to Glen Edyth Drive and Place The City of Toronto’s Official Plan identifies several views from the Public Realm both within and surrounding the HCD Study Area. These views are categorized by Prominent and Heritage Buildings, Structures and Landscapes, as well as Important Natural Features. Identified views within and surrounding the Casa Loma HCD Study Area are noted in Chapter 8: Analysis of Official Plan and Zoning Provisions.

    Transcript of Conversation between Deanna Bowen, Pamela Edmonds, Selina Mudavanhu McMaster Museum of Art February 6, 2020 Pamela Edmonds: Hi, I'm Pamela Edmonds, the new curator here at the MMA can everyone hear me okay? I'm not mic’d, but seems so. Thank you for joining us tonight, coming out in the bitter cold for tonight's event You know it's truly representing Black History Month, right? The coldest day, coldest month, but we're here to delve into and unpack some of the ideas around Deanna Bowen's incredible exhibition here, a Harlem Nocturne, which was curated by Kimberly Phillips of the Contemporary Art Gallery in Vancouver. And very happy to have Dr. Selina Mudavanhu here from McMaster Communication and Media Studies also and delve into some of the ideas around the exhibition and further on. And so, this exhibition will be touring going to next to Montreal then Halifax maybe others ... and Banff, which is very exciting. Firstly, I'd also like to recognize that we're gathered on the traditional tour of territories of the Mississauga and the Haudenosaunee nations and within the lands protected by the dish with one spoon wampum agreement. And I think also given the current moment in this country it's important, and I say dare I say urgent, to think about the ways that each of us are connected to land and space and place, whether we're settlers or not and how we can think about making the reality of Truth and Reconciliation real in all of our communities.

    What’s Out There? Toronto - 1 - What’s Out There - Toronto The Guide The Purpose “Cultural Landscapes provide a sense of place and identity; they map our relationship with the land over time; and they are part of our national heritage and each of our lives” (TCLF). These landscapes are important to a city because they reveal the influence that humans have had on the natural environment in addition to how they continue to interact with these land- scapes. It is significant to learn about and understand the cultural landscapes of a city because they are part of the city’s history. The purpose of this What’s Out There Guide-Toronto is to identify and raise public awareness of significant landscapes within the City of Toron- to. This guide sets out the details of a variety of cultural landscapes that are located within the City and offers readers with key information pertaining to landscape types, styles, designers, and the history of landscape, including how it has changed overtime. It will also provide basic information about the different landscape, the location of the sites within the City, colourful pic- tures and maps so that readers can gain a solid understanding of the area. In addition to educating readers about the cultural landscapes that have helped shape the City of Toronto, this guide will encourage residents and visitors of the City to travel to and experience these unique locations. The What’s Out There guide for Toronto also serves as a reminder of the im- portance of the protection, enhancement and conservation of these cultural landscapes so that we can preserve the City’s rich history and diversity and enjoy these landscapes for decades to come.

  • 1 Spadina Crescent
    STAFF REPORT ACTION REQUIRED Alterations to a Designated Heritage Property, Amendment of Designating By-law and Authority for a Heritage Easement Agreement – 1 Spadina Crescent Date: May 26, 2014 Toronto Preservation Board To: Toronto East York Community Council From: Director, Urban Design, City Planning Division Wards: Ward 20 - Trinity-Spadina Reference P:\2014\Cluster B\PLN\TEYCC\PHTE14059 Number: SUMMARY This report recommends that City Council approve the proposed alteration of 1 Spadina Crescent. Located at the top of Spadina Avenue in the centre of Spadina Crescent just north of College Street, the property contains the former three-storey Knox College which was built in 1875 and designated under Part IV of the Ontario Heritage Act on March 17, 1976. The property is the subject of a site plan application that proposes interior renovation and exterior restoration of the existing building, the removal of a number of rear additions and a new three-storey rear addition. The designated building and the new addition will be home to the University of Toronto's Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape and Design (DFALD). This report also recommends that City Council amend former City of Toronto By-law 89- 76, designating the property at 1 Spadina Crescent (former Knox College, Spadina Military Hospital and Toronto Connaught Laboratories) under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, to revise the Reasons for Designation in accordance with the 2005 changes to the Ontario Heritage Act, and to grant authority for a heritage easement agreement. When a heritage easement agreement is secured for a property designated prior to 2005 it is the City's practice to amend the designating by-law to describe the cultural heritage values and attributes of the property as set out in the 2005 amendments to the Ontario Heritage Act.
