Guild Park & Gardens

This guide to Guild Park & Gardens in Toronto follows Spencer Clark and Rosa Breithaupt Hewetson, who bought this bluff-top estate in 1932 to found the Guild of All Arts, a cooperative colony for painters, weavers and sculptors through the Depression. It traces the estate's wartime years as a military hospital, and Spencer Clark's return afterward to a city tearing down its grand old banks and office towers. A listening tip: look closely at the columns and carved fragments scattered around you.
