Great to see that one of Toronto's prime filming locations was repaired and back in operation this week! I've loved the interesting Cherry Street Strauss Trunnion Bascule Bridge since I first saw it as a kid in the 1980s, and then loved it even more as I'd recognize it in scenes of movies.
I remember for many years that The Grange was a museum depicting life in the 1830s. Delicious bread was baked there for visitors to sample. I miss that. Today it functions as a part of the Art Gallery of Ontario and its programming. It houses the Norma Ridley Members’ Lounge and exhibition spaces.
The Grange was built in 1817 as the home of D’Arcy Boulton Jr., his wife, Sarah Anne, and their eight children. The same year the 1913 photos were snapped, The Grange became The Art Museum of Toronto. By 1966, the museum was renamed Art Gallery of Ontario.
Remarkably, one of these streetcar shelters from 1922 has survived and is now preserved in the Haileybury Heritage Museum.
Though not originally designed as housing, the streetcars were equipped with stoves for heating - thankfully they arrived just as the colder weather set in. Many residents who received these makeshift homes customized them to further endure the harsh winter conditions.
