I have shown you a few of the small apartment buildings along Lawrence Ave E in the Lawrence Park neighbourhood before and thought I would show this one with its Tudor styling. It is hard to tell how many units are in it but there are two entrances, one on each side of that projecting section. There may be only 4 units which must each be a nice size.
I seem to have developed a thing about gorgeous porches and couldn't resist this beauty found in the Lawrence Park neighbourhood. The house itself is beautiful and it is the porch that makes it special don't you think?
This house found in the Lawrence Park neighbourhood says comfort to me. I think it is full of big couches for lounging and has a great back garden for summertime relaxing. I wonder if I'm right?
This another of the small apartments on Lawrence Ave E that all seem to have the same configuration but different decorations. Tudor seems to be the influence for this one.
This is the back of the George H Locke Memorial Branch of the Toronto Public Library located at Yonge St & Lawrence Ave. I will have to get a pic of the front one day when traffic is sparse but this back part is actually nicer with the big windows and the curved wall. George Locke was the chief librarian for the city from 1908 to 1937 and when this was built after the war in 1949 the decision was made to name it after him.
I'm not sure if it is just me but I would want to match those shutters more to the colour of the doors. This is another of the row of dwellings along Lawrence Ave in the Lawrence Park neighbourhood like the one I showed you yesterday. Not sure what you would call this style.
I showed you a building similar to this in January (HERE) and mentioned that there was a row of these buildings of a same scale but each a different design. Well I went back and took pics of them all and will show you a couple today & tomorrow and the others later. This one has a bit of a Tudor style to it which is suitable to this Lawrence Park neighbourhood. More green doors tomorrow.
I'm back in the Lawrence Park neighbourhood for this one, one of the many Tudor style homes found in the area. This is not an area where all the homes are the same design but rather every house on a street will be a different design even if many of them are the same style.
I'm back in the Lawrence Park neighbourhood for this one and this is a typical Georgian house that you can find in the area. Lawrence Park is one of the wealthiest neighbourhoods in Canada and it was begun to be developed in the early 1900s with most of the homes constructed between 1910 and 1950. It is a lovely area of rolling hills, ravines, and parks with a mixture of Tudor, Georgian, and English Cottage homes mixed in. And as you can see there is a little more land around the homes than in the older neighbourhoods like the Annex.
I have shown you some of the moose that were part of the Moose event in Toronto in 2000 and you can see some of the painted ones if you click the moose label below. This one I spotted on a house in the Lawrence Park neighbourhood and unlike most of the rest it has managed to keep hold of its antlers. It is also unusual since it hasn't been painted. He looks pretty cool with some snow on his antlers.
On Lawrence Ave East in the Lawrence Park neighbourhood there is a row of buildings of this size but all of a different style. I like the Tudor styling of this one and particularly like the red doors. I'm not sure but I think each half of the house is duplexed.
