Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Architectural winner: Architect John Lyle won an award for his design for Parkwood in 1917. The house, with more than 50 rooms, also has an indoor swimming pool, bowling alley squash court billiard room, music room and secret staircase, as well as extensive greenhouses. In its hey day, Parkwood employed 60 people, including three chefs. Now two housekeepers work full-time to keep it presentable to the public.
