That's a logical jumping off point for "I can do better and far less dull'

There was another house? It wasn't just the one near the Grange Park that got replaced by condos?

Yeah, that's the one I remember reading about too.

That was his grandparents house at 15 Beverly St.

Marcus Gee has an interesting take in todays G&M , " It's time to leave starchitects in the past". This article mainly refers to Mr. F. Gehry and Mr. D. Libeskind, and their 'signature' projects in Toronto, the AGO and the ROM additions. I found myself nodding in general agreement with his unflattering assessments .
