The first in a projected series on early 20th century buildings (1903-15) on this notable commercial Toronto street. Illustrated with contemporary and archival photographs and architectural drawings, the book examines twelve loft buildings along ten blocks of College Street. All fit within the description of lofts as generic, flexible containers designed to accommodate industry, offices, warehouse space, clubs, and retail. For each building, in addition to extensive design and engineering information (including background on the architectural firm responsible), high quality black and white photos, plans where available, and maps, data about tenancy and subsequent uses is provided.

The buildings are each recognized as unique heritage assets through their materials, design, and historical context. They are also considered together to underline how the style and versatility of Edwardian lofts have shaped Toronto's College Street and nearby neighbourhoods.

The book received a 2013 Heritage Toronto Award Honourable Mention in the Book category.

Eric Arthur came from New Zealand to Toronto and changed the face and the spirit of the city. He taught at the School of Architecture; edited and wrote for the Journal of the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada; authored many books, chief among them 'Toronto: No Mean City" the definitive history of early Toronto architecture; spurred preservation by founding the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario; spearheaded the international competition for Toronto's new City Hall; designed industrial, institutional, and residential buildings in Toronto and across Canada; and inspired thousands of students, colleagues and citizens. This anthology of free-ranging anecdotal and scholarly essays offers select glimpses into Professor Arthur's always busy life.

Ninjalicious was the pen name of Jeff Chapman, a Torontonian who achieved acclaim well beyond his city for his evocative descriptions of abandoned buildings, "behind the scenes" spaces within buildings and many other "off limits," underused and private areas. His explorations were guided by a code of conduct not unlike one that might be in effect in a natural park: enjoy the adventure, observe and record but take no action that has an effect on the surroundings. Jeff was a member of the TAC executive and these memoirs are a very original and exhilarating "face to face" encounter with architecture in our city, including the King Edward Hotel and Alsop's OCAD. This may be the only book in the world that has "The Powers That Be" as an index entry (five occurrences), which provides an idea of Jeff's conspiratorial sense of humour.

On the 150th anniversary of its debut, the landmark asylum (demolished in 1975) is reconsidered. Its hard fall from grace began shortly after construction. First its sophisticated architectural program was overwhelmed, then it was and under-maintained, and finally it was blamed not only for functional shortcomings but also the collateral failures of medical treatments.
 A dozen contributors essay the possibilities of designing and using a building as a therapeutic instrument. According to John Bentley Mays in the National Post: "a useful lesson in how the meanings of medical architecture shift and slide over time ...with the darkenings and lightenings of medical knowledge about our frail human condition." Contributors include Pleasance Crawford, Cyril Greenland, Shirley Morriss, Douglas Richardson, and John Sewell. Comprehensively illustrated with many rare period photos and other graphics
