"The illustrated story of how a nineteenth-century subdivision owned by a single land developer became the upscale, multi-ethnic, trendsetting hub for much of downtown life in Toronto. Well-known author and critic Jack Batten, an Annex resident for almost 40 years, weaves a rich tale involving the Timothy Eaton family; E.J. Lennox and the architects who gave the Annex its look; fascinating information about key homes, churches, public buildings and institutions of higher learning; the reasons behind the district's abundant parks and green space; insights into its more recent architecture; a history of the Spadina Expressway; the moveable feast of literary and artistic talent; even the Annex's notorious murderers." - dust jacket. 160 pages. Index. Bibliography. Profusely illustrated with black and white reproductions of marvelous archival photos. Clean, bright and unmarked with negligible wear. Dust jacket now preserved in glossy new archival-grade Brodart. A beautiful copy. Gift quality.; 8vo .
