Dendy graduated from the University of Toronto in 1971, received a B.A. in Architectural History from Cambridge University in 1973, and in 1979 received two Masters degrees in architectural history, one from the University of Cambridge, and one from Columbia University in New York. He worked as an architectural historian for the Toronto Historical Board from 1973 until 1976, taught Canadian architectural history at the University of Toronto, at the University of Waterloo, at Carleton University in Ottawa, at Ryerson Polytechnic Institute in Toronto, and at the Toronto Urban Studies Centre. Dendy also worked on a consultancy basis as architectural historian to many Toronto-based architectural firms, developers, and government agencies, and also led architectural walking tours of Toronto. Dendy's two published works, _Lost Toronto_ (1978) and _Toronto Observed: Its Architecture, Patrons, and History_ (1986), were both published by the Oxford University Press and both won Toronto Book Awards. In 1993 Dendy was awarded an honorary membership in the Ontario Association of Architects, and in the same year he was given an Allied Arts Award for his lectures and books on historical architecture.

  • Inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register and Intention to Designate Under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act - 100 College Street
    REPORT FOR ACTION Inclusion on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register and Intention to Designate under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act - 100 College Street Date: August 7, 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 the property at 100 College Street under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act and include the property on the City of Toronto's Heritage Register. The Banting Institute at 100 College Street, is located on the north side of College Street in Toronto's Discovery District, on the southern edge of the Queen's Park/University of Toronto precinct, opposite the MaRS complex and the former Toronto General Hospital. Following the Nobel-Prize winning discovery of insulin as a life- saving treatment for diabetes in 1921-1922, the Banting Institute was commissioned by the University of Toronto to accommodate the provincially-funded Banting and Best Chair of Medical Research. Named for Major Sir Charles Banting, the five-and-a-half storey, Georgian Revival style building was constructed according to the designs of the renowned architectural firm of Darling of Pearson in 1928-1930. The importance of the historic discovery was recently reiterated in UNESCO's 2013 inscription of the discovery of insulin on its 'Memory of the World Register' as "one of the most significant medical discoveries of the twentieth century and … of incalculable value to the world community."1 Following research and evaluation, it has been determined that the property meets Ontario Regulation 9/06, which sets out the criteria prescribed for municipal designation under Part IV, Section 29 of the Ontario Heritage Act, for its design/physical, historical/associative and contextual value.

  • Monuments and Memories in Ontario, 1850-2001
    FORGING ICONOGRAPHIES AND CASTING COLONIALISM: MONUMENTS AND MEMORIES IN ONTARIO, 1850-2001 By Brittney Anne Bos A thesis submitted to the Department of History In conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Queen’s University Kingston, Ontario, Canada (September 2016) Copyright ©Brittney Anne Bos, 2016 ii Abstract Commemorations are a critical window for exploring the social, political, and cultural trends of a specific time period. Over the past two centuries, the commemorative landscape of Ontario reaffirmed the inclusion/exclusion of particular racial groups. Intended as static markers to the past, monuments in particular visually demonstrated the boundaries of a community and acted as ongoing memorials to existing social structures. Using a specific type of iconography and visual language, the creators of monuments imbued the physical markers of stone and bronze with racialized meanings. As builders were connected with their own time periods and social contexts, the ideas behind these commemorations shifted. Nonetheless, creators were intent on producing a memorial that educated present and future generations on the boundaries of their “imagined communities.” This dissertation considers the carefully chosen iconographies of Ontario’s monuments and how visual symbolism was attached to historical memory. Through the examination of five case studies, this dissertation examines the shifting commemorative landscape of Ontario and how memorials were used to mark the boundaries of communities. By integrating the visual analysis of monuments and related images, it bridges a methodological and theoretical gap between history and art history. This dissertation opens an important dialogue between these fields of study and demonstrates how monuments themselves are critical “documents” of the past.

  • 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.

  • Mary Lake and Eaton Hall Lake Hike
    Gate entrance to Mary Lake Mary Lake Eaton Hall Seneca Lake Monastery Mary Lake and Eaton Hall Lake Hike The Oak Ridges Moraine gets its name from its rolling hills and river valleys extending 160 km from the Niagara Escarpment in the west to the Trent River in the east and was formed 12,000 years ago by advancing and retreating glaciers. The hiking group of the Chinese University of Hong Kong Alumni Association (Ontario) will have the next hiking trip at the west end of the Oak Ridges Moraine Trail in King City. Here the natural area trail passes through two kettle moraine lakes which have provided some of the most popular sections of the trail: Mary Lake on the former country property of Sir Henry Pellatt, the builder of Casa Loma in Toronto, and Eaton Hall Lake (aka Seneca Lake) on the former Eaton Country Estate. Starting from the Mary Lake, the trail meanders north to the 16th Sideroad and through prime southern Ontario woods, sun-dappled and bird-sung. On the way back, we will cross Keele Street and head east to the Eaton Hall, a French chateau built in the Norman style for Lady Flora McCrae Eaton in 1937, which is adjacent to the Eaton Hall Lake. Located in the headwaters of the East Humber River, Eaton Hall-Mary-Hackett W etland Complex is one of the largest and most diverse wetland complexes on the Oak Ridges Moraine. Date: August 15th, 2009 (Saturday) M eeting Place: M ary Lake M onastery visitors’ parking lot. Parking fee: Free parking on most days, but a donation of $10.00 for parking may be requested if there is other community function or church activity on the same day; Parking fee may be waived if you indicate to the attendant that you go there hiking.
