Download or read book Toronto Local History 3 Book Bundle written by Scott Kennedy and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 2017-03-04 with total page 1996 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A colourful look at Toronto's pioneer roots, tracing the history of three neighbourhoods from their farming days to modern day. Includes: Don Mills: From Forests and Farms to Forces of Change As recently as 1970, wheat crops were grown at Don Mills — and no small amount, but enough to line Toronto’s grocery-store shelves with baked goods. Single-herd milk was also commonplace, thanks to this last vestige of the city’s agricultural past. By 1980, it had been paved over, but Scott Kennedy offers a glimpse of the way things used to be. 200 Years at St. John's York Mills: The Oldest Parish in Toronto St. John’s Church at York Mills was built in 1816 on land that had been donated by pioneer settlers: a little log building that was the first parish church in the City of Toronto. The brick church that stands there today, completed in 1844 and enlarged over the years, stands as a welcoming place of worship and repository of Canadian history. Willowdale: Yesterday's Farms, Today's Legacy In 1855, Willowdale post office opened in Jacob Cummer's store on Yonge Street. Today it is a bustling urban environment. Scott Kennedy recounts the notable stories of what happened in between and who was there as Willowdale evolved into a modern community.

Download or read book Toronto to 1918 written by J.M.S. Careless and published by James Lorimer & Company. This book was released on 2002 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the beginning of 1793 Toronto was the gateway to a distant portage to the Upper Great Lakes, its permanent population a lone fur trader. One hundred and twenty-five years later it was a solid, vibrant metropolis, an industrial powerhouse supporting half a million residents. Toronto is a city built by its people, from the original colonial aristocracy of the Family Compact, to the masses of British and Irish migrants who forged its profound links with Empire, to the polyglot flow of international migration that would ultimately transform the city in the twentieth century. This book recounts their stories, and their stories are the history of Toronto's emergence as a world-class city. In Toronto to 1918, distinguished historian J.M.S. Careless expertly draws Toronto's stories together, creating an illuminating and entertaining portrait of the city. The text is complemented with more than 150 historical illustrations.

Download or read book Illustrated Toronto Past and Present written by J. Timperlake and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-29 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illustrated Toronto, Past and Present: Being an Historical and Descriptive Guide-Book, Comprising Its Architecture, Manufacture, Trade, Its Social, Literary, Scientific, and Charitable Institutions, Its Churches, Schools, and Colleges, and Other Principal Points of Interest The Lithographic Bird's Eye View, to which the following pages form a key, has been nearly three years in preparation, and has entailed an amount of labour that is clearly magnified upon an inspection of this work. This picture of Toronto is five feet by three feet three inches, is printed in three colours, and the mechanical execution of which reflects the highest credit upon Messrs. Copp, Clark St Co a firm whose reputa tion is well known through the entire Dominion for the excellence of their lithographic printing. Mr. Gross, the artist and delineator, sketched and lithographed the city from actual survey, every avenue, street, lane, and alley, having been traversed by him; and every building, either store, private residence, or public building, etc, etc., has been drawn with a faithfulness and a minuteness that excites astonishment and admiration in all beholders. He has so drawn his picture as to present at one glance a bird's-eye view of Toronto and its northern suburbs, as if seen from a south-eastern portion of the island at an elevation of about feet above the level of the lake. This part of the View, with the foreground of the picture, comprises the harbour, wharves, elevators, and principal manufactories of the city, while the background is formed of Rosedale and Yorkville, and the villages of Seaton and Brockton.

Download or read book Toronto Since 1918 written by James T. Lemon and published by Lorimer. This book was released on 1985 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the twentieth century Torontonians have gone from pitying Cabbagetowners to envying them, from watching Lionel Conacher at a sandlot to watching the Blue Jays at the SkyDome. This book chronicles the immense changes that Canada's largest city has undergone in this frenetic period. In 1918 Toronto was a provincial city with a half-million inhabitants, overwhelmingly British, Protestant and Tory. Today the city is undeniably world-class, its three million inhabitants gathered from all over the polyglot globe. Despite this metamorphosis, however, Toronto's resilient social fabric endures. Urban planners consider Toronto "the city that works"; other Canadians know it works, sometimes perhaps too hard and too well. Toronto Since 1918 gathers the manifold strands of this great urban tapestry, bringing the city to life with an incisive, engaging text illustrated with more than 150 historical photographs.
Download or read book Unbuilt Toronto written by Mark Osbaldeston and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 2008-10-27 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unbuilt Toronto explores the failed architectural dreams of Toronto. Delving into unfulfilled & largely forgotten visions for grand public buildings, landmark skyscrapers, roads & highways, transit systems, & sports & recreation venues, the authors outline such ambitious but ultimately unrealised schemes as St. Alban's Cathedral, the "Newark 2011" subway system, & a 1911 city plan that would have resulted in a Paris-by-the-Lake. Readers will lament the loss of some projects (such as the planned construction boom for the Olympics), be thankful for the loss of others ("City Hall was supposed to look like that?!?"), & marvel at the downtown that could have been (with underground roads & walkways in the sky). With an eye on the future as well as the past, the author takes stock of Toronto's status quo in 2008 & offers some bold predictions on the city's architectural future.

Book excerpt: With the same eye for character, anecdote and circumstance that made Peter Ackroyd’s London and Colin Jones’s Paris so successful, Levine’s captivating prose integrates the sights, sounds and feel of Toronto with a broad historical perspective, linking the city’s present with its past through themes such as politics, transportation, public health, ethnic diversity and sports. Toronto invites readers to discover the city’s lively spirit over four centuries and to wander purposefully through the city’s many unique neighborhoods, where they can encounter the striking and peculiar characters who have inhabited them: the powerful and powerless, the entrepreneurs and the entertainers, and the moral and the corrupt, all of whom have contributed to Toronto’s collective identity.
