Synopsis
From Dust Jacket Notes: In Lost Toronto William Dendy, a young architectural historian who has devoted several years to researching the building history of Toronto, has assembled 131 photographs, drawn from various archives, of nearly 100 demolished or defaced buildings and ruined streetscapes, which he discusses individually in engrossing detail - social, architectural, and biographical. A new kind of historical study of the city emerges, one that strongly appeals to the present-day interest in the appearance of the past. Relating his descriptive texts closely to the photographs, Dendy recalls the serious intentions of another age to express corporate prosperity and pride, institutional traditions, and personal self-esteem in architectual forms that would beautify the city....
