Explore the grandeur of the
‘Annex,’ a late 19th century subdivision known for its Queen Anne
and Romanesque-Revival architectural styles. Hear about entrepreneur Simeon
Janes’ original plans for the area, as well as some of the people who have lived
on Madison Ave. Join us afterwards for a visit to the nearby City of Toronto
Archives, where we can see records about the development of the ‘Annex’ and
enjoy the exhibit “A Work in Progress: Preserving Toronto’s Architectural
Record.”
