-- A walk for Heritage Toronto, (previously presented in 2006, 2008, and 2010)
This prestigious neighbourhood was named after the estate of Sheriff William Botsford Jarvis and his wife Mary Powell, members of Toronto's early 19th century elite. Set amongst wooded ravines, the area developed slowly due to its isolation from the city and to various economic downturns. As a result, it boasts buildings representing a variety of 19th and 20th century architectural styles.
START POINT: Parkette in front of Rosedale Subway Station (East side of Yonge)
