Updating Toronto's Architecture Bible
An interview with Alex Bozikovic, architecture critic and co-author of a guide to the city’s expansive building stock.
The American journalist Patricia McHugh arrived with her husband and children in Toronto in 1972 and quickly took to its charming and diverse 19th-century neighborhoods. An obscure but beloved member of the community, McHugh dabbled in heritage activism and advocacy, became a member of the Toronto Historical Board, and wrote Toronto Architecture: A City Guide in 1981 before issuing an updated version in 1989.
A lot has happened since.
