Art Deco Toronto and Beyond: An Architectural Odyssey

Featuring brief introductions to 43 buildings and beautifully illustrated with over 200 original colour photographs, Art Deco Toronto and Beyond brings to life the beauty and elegance of Toronto’s Deco moment--and that of its closest neighbours--from the 1920s to the 1950s.
