Toronto French School

This is the main building belonging to the Toronto French School which is a private, co-ed, bilingual school located on Lawrence Ave E. This building was constructed as a residence in 1922 by the Sifton family and was known as Sifton Manor. It was purchased by the school in 1962 and is one of several buildings on the large property. It is unusual to see it without a lot of people milling about.

  8. So the Roaring '20s must have been a good time for Canada, too.

  10. Empty, like so many other places these days. It seems to be well maintained at 98 years.
