It's been awhile since I posted my last door pic, so here's another Art Deco favourite. The Brownley Apartments were built in 1931 and the building is listed on the Toronto Heritage Registry. While today this section of Isabella is mostly dominated by later 20th century apartment complexes, prior to the construction of this building it was largely given over to comfortable single family homes. For those paying attention, remnants of the older street still persist and the two buildings just west of the apartments are prime examples. The Jared Sessions House at 34 Isabella was built prior to 1860, and 36 Isabella, known as the Robert Wood House, was built in 1885.
