For years, Michael has said that there is a particular house that he would like to see as part of Doors Open. Today, the Toronto Star had an article about what was once a gatehouse and was redesigned as a private residence by architect Frederick Fletcher. The house was once part of a large estate on Concession 2, Lot 4 . The house was part of a vast farming estate that was farmed for 90 years. Hard to believe that this was once farm country when you see all the homes in the area. However, some of the area was only developed in the late 1950's when E.P. Taylor sold some of his land and developed Don Mills.
One of these days, I must site down and research the area more thorough. Until then enjoy the Gatehouse. http://www.thestar.com/Comment/article/666906
