By the 1880s, Jarvis Street had become one of the most fashionable streets in Toronto. We'll explore the architecture of these grand homes and hear about some of the prominent Torontonians connected to the street, such as E.J. Lennox, the designer of Old City Hall; the Massey family, owners of the farm equipment empire; and Oliver Mowat, a Father of Confederation.
