St. Mary's Church, Toronto

The parish was established by Irish immigrants in 1852. The Gothic Revival church was designed by Joseph Connolly and completed in 1889, with the tower finished in 1905.
It stands as the picturesque western view terminus for Adelaide Street.
The rectory, convent and a school are also located along Portugal Square.

Burano on Bay Street, Toronto
At first glance, Burano is a juxtaposition. Rising from the historical Addison on Bay building into a soaring tower of glass and steel, Burano will be a tribute to the art and design of its Venetian namesake. Its roots are firmly planted in the soil of Bay Street, but its heart beats to the glory of authentic Italian artistry.
The Bay Street entrance is through the traditional doors of the Addison building - with its solid brick presence and oversized windows. But the entrance plaza on Grenville is where Burano's personality emerges to the interplay of light and art off a three story glass lobby and pedestrian space that will be the pride of the neighbourhood.

Point Clark Lighthouse, Lake Huron
This lighthouse, is located on Lake Huron 35 kilometers north of Goderich, was built between 1855 and 1859. It commemorates the vital role of lighthouses in navigation on the Great Lakes. The 87-foot limestone tower topped by a 12-sided lantern framed in cast iron is typical of the six “Imperial” towers built in the region, a lighthouse style rarely seen elsewhere in Canada. The Township of Huron has an agreement with Parks Canada to operate the lightkeeper's house as a local museum.
