Title: Toronto The Good, An Album of Colonial HogtownAuthor: Utting, Gerald Publisher: Bodima Books, Vancouver, B.C., 1978ISBN: 0-88875-001-3
In the words of the author "One can construct some kind of history of a city by poring through records of custom house clearances, transportation statistics, journals of political debates, even visit the few old houses that remain. But the best way of recapturing some of the spirit of the times is to look at photographs of people and buildings taken in the past. The cluttered but comfortable Victorian interiors do more than hint at the solid wealth of Toronto of 80 or 90 years ago, they display it. Seeing the lavish padding of the chairs and settees, the bric-a-brac scattered throughout the rooms, you are less surprised at the perhaps provincial, but very real, attempts at opulent display on the faces of many of those vanished buildings".
