If you've ever noticed the stately, red beauty behind walls at St. George and Bloor, Christopher Hume's recent write up about it might interest you.
Now home to the The York Club, it once was home to Toronto's Gooderham family, of Gooderham and Worts fame.
A tidbit: "Interesting, too, that in the 19th century, the rich chose to live in the city, not hidden away on some cul-de-sac at the edge of town. That would come later. The fortress-like wall that extends along Bloor was an addition; originally, the house sat a lawn’s width from the street, easily visible."
