Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Neglected: The Wellesley St. E. home of famed artist Paul Kane (inset) has been boarded up for 10 years; and looks even worse since a fire in December; so perhaps it should be torn down altogether and the area made a park to commemorate Kane; a reader suggests. He rejects the idea of co-op housing around the 1856 house.

Relaxing in Venetian splendor of their formal living room are Victor Biasi and Richard, 10. Because Victor has lived in Venice most of his life, practically all the furniture in the room has been imported from Italy. Although the home on Glenview Ave. in North Toronto looks English on the outside, inside it is transformed into a touch of Venice transported to Toronto.
