A preserved heritage site and one of the original cottages in The Beaches, Inglenook is now a privately owned - and significanly restored - residence. It was originally built around 1900, and over the years changed numerous hands. It was also nearly slated for demolition until the community stepped forward and had the site (and its neighbouring 79 Waverly Rd) designated a protected heritate site.
Glenn and Jean Cochrane have lived in Toronto?s Beach area for thirty-eight years ? which sounds like a lifetime but really leaves them as a relative newcomers. Like many of the area?s residents, the Cochranes are convinced that once someone moves to the Beach, they?ll never leave.
Along the Shore examines the Toronto waterfront, past and present, through the lens of four lakefront communities and districts ? the Scarborough shore (including the Bluffs), the Beach, the Island, and the Lakeshore (New Toronto, Mimico, Humber Bay, and Long Branch). Each retains a direct and immediate connection with Lake Ontario and the natural world.
Tours featuring this location.
Welcome to Toronto's The Beach neighborhood. Located on the east side of "Old Toronto", it fits inside the boundaries of Kingston Road, Victoria Park Ave., Woodbine Ave., and Lake Ontario. Originally heavily wooded and spotted with homes, the area's popularity grew in the 1900's and land was appropriated for parks, boardwalks, and public gardens.
