Angus Skene
The mammoth arches of Romanesque architecture peer through the trees in the Annex, one of Toronto’s earliest suburbs and the brain-child of a wheeling, dealing real estate developer, Simion Janes. Join Architect Angus Skene as he explores the fascinating rise, fall and rise of this late Victorian neighbourhood and learn why Jane Jacobs chose to call this neighbourhood home.
