Established in the early 1900s as an artists’ colony, this quiet treed enclave was home to Gustav Hahn who taught members of the Group of Seven, architect Eden Smith who designed iconic Toronto buildings, and Marshall McLuhan, whose medium was the message.

 

There are oak trees that were here before Toronto existed, and turtles in the pond that feeds Taddle Creek.
