A collector and young architects rethink a Toronto classic
Pass through Kenneth Montague’s front door, and he starts showing you the art. In the 1919 house near Wychwood Park in Toronto that he shares with his family, the front hall has been reshaped into a two-storey gallery where art climbs the walls.
Black figures, mostly seen from behind, in portraits and street photographs; a long tapestry by Preston Pavlis that depicts a woman beaming within a joyous cloud of butterflies. Then there is a construction-paper crown made by one of his kids. This is a place for art and living, each framed by a personal lens.
