Join architectural historian Marta O'Brien for an enjoyable exploration of two hundred years of residential architecture in Toronto. Hundreds of slides will showcase Torontonians' homes from workers' cottages to mansions, and from converted factories to 50-storey condominium towers. We'll look at how several neighbourhoods developed and the social and economic forces that shaped them. One class will be a walking tour of Rosedale.
