Occasional Toronto: Another Old School

Another Old School

This is one of the side doors from Harbord Collegiate Institute which is on Harbord St just a few blocks away from Central Tech which I showed you on April 1 for Theme Day. I was out looking for school pics and loved the carvings around this door and the details it was given even though it was not the main door. Harbord Collegiate is well known in the city for its high standards and has had many high profile alumni such as architect Frank Gehry and actor Kiefer Sutherland.
