Image 1 in the Mascs of Toronto Series
Toronto is full of faces, staring stonily out from buildings across the city. When presented alone these faces are referred to as mascarons. In the Mascs series, this blog will widen the definition to include any interesting faces, whether they be prominently presented or hidden among other decorative details.
This face is from the front of 287 Jarvis Street, a heritage property built in 1890 by architects Knox and Elliot. It currently operates as a rooming house run by Homes First Society.
