<\/p>\n

If you’re ever bored, or hiding from a rainstorm, go to the forth floor of the Toronto Reference Library and page through the city directories and see the names of whoever lived at whatever address you want to follow over the year — and in the older books, find out what they did for a living. This exhibition is sort of like doing that — the history of Queen Street through public announcements in the Globe and Mail.<\/p>\n

The families, designers, speculators, shop-keepers, buildings and times of Queen West.<\/em><\/p>\n

Based on The Toronto Architectural Conservancy<\/a>‘s Call for Tender project which documents every such printed instance from the Globe newspaper, start to finish (1846-1890). This database accurately charts the evolution of Toronto over those 44 formative years. Queen Street as we recognize it still, had its genesis in these Globe pages alongside many other projects, large and small, City-wide.<\/em><\/p>\n
