NEW!

The Marlborough - Summerhill area is one of Toronto's most diverse districts. At various times it has included grand estates and workers' cottages, industries and a city reservoir, hotels and high-end shops. Much of it was shaped by the Canadian Pacific Railway line, built in 1884. This busy freight line, along with the beautifully restored North Toronto Station, continues to dominate the area.
