Casa Loma
There is a magnificent house on the Spadina Hill which looks down on the city and Lake Ontario. It was owned by a magnate whose fortune was lost in a financial crisis early last century. It had a spell as a hotel in the twenties and thirties and was THE social centre of Toronto nightlife. Two childrens shows and a Santa Cave were features today so I was sidestepping rugrats .
It's just a hall!
Camp's camp anywhere
The master bedroom ....
...has its own study with a wyvern lamp that has finally returned after being lost for years. A wyvern is a two legged dragon
The fabulous master bathroom
Mrs Magnate's suite
The dining room off the Conservatory
The Conservatory!
And so to the end
We all have the right to a house like this. So I have opened a special savings account. The money box the bank gave me is really sweet.

Glad you got to Casa Loma TT. Incredible photos once again. Looking at your photos is like being in the mansion itself. And your 'stick your head through/Norma Shearer' pic is an absolute classic! Next years Christmas card methinks! xx
