Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Bridle path mansion: For a mere $7.95 million, you can buy this mammoth home from Alfred W. Billes, who is also in the midst of trying to sell his stake in Canadian Tire Corp. Ltd. The home includes a marble fireplace in the master bedroom, indoor pool, elevator service and a garage big enough for eight sets of tires - and the cars they're mounted on.
