Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Fine home presented to Crescent School. One of the finest and most elaborately equipped homes in Canada, the residence and estate of Mr. W. E. Massey at Dentonia Park, has been presented as a gift to the Crescent preparatory school for boys. The beautiful 100-room residence, shown in (1), is located on 25 acres of woodland and meadow, broken by valleys and ponds, constituting one of the finest estates to be found in the vicinity of the city. There is an indoor heated swimming pool, a theatre seating 200 persons, an assembly hall, library, common rooms, a hospital, billiard room, a dark room for photography, showers, a small gymnasium, a museum and ample space for the development of hobbies. There are almost endless rooms, stairways and corners for the boys to explore. The large woodland area will provide an unlimited field for the kind of games active boys like to play...
