Stones, Bricks, and History: The Corner of "Duke & George" 1798-1984; The North-East Corner of Adelaide Street East and George Street, Toronto
'This book is a unique addition to Canadian historical consciousness. It can be read at several levels.
In one sense, it is for browsing through history with over a hundred pictures dating back over 150 years. In another sense, it is a story of a miraculous restoration of a burned out hulk that turned out to be a national treasure.
In a deeper sense, it is a story of the region, seen through the windows of a tangible group of buildings that were at the center of the events since the early years of the last century.
At the deepest level, this is a book that enriches our awareness of our past as Canadians by picking up the themes of economic development sand the struggle for political, social and religious liberty in this country.'
In one sense,
