Polar Bear and Cubs

 relief sculpture of polar bear with cubs on 120 Bloor St. W. in Toronto

Location: South facade of 120 Bloor St. E., near the corner of Church St.
Date photo taken: 6 December 2014

This is one of two sculptural decorations on the south facade of the former Crown Life Building on Bloor St. just east of Yonge. This one was designed by portrait artist Cleeve Horne and carved by Italian born sculptor Louis Temporale. Like the other panel on the building it depicts a touching family scene from nature, but for some reason I've always felt that mamma bear just ate the last doughnut and didn't offer to share.
