The Guild Sad & Pretty

The Guild overlooks the Scarborough Bluffs on Guildwood Parkway. My family used to live on this street and I spent many dreamy afternoons as a teenager, wandering the grounds. Now the property awaits development. Most, if not all of the buildings are rotting away in disrepair and are not in use. Each time I return to the Guild, I see more damage and rot. More photos of the Guild can be seen on earlier posts on this blog. This is the second time I've gone out there to take pictures and the battery in my camera lost power. Hmmm.

I'm always drawn to the wooden vikings on the studio cabin near the front.
The round handle has come off the owl. This must have happened recently. I love all the thoughtful details put into the facade of the cabin.
Side view: What I'd give to go inside.
Stone chimney
I was never sure what this is. A hitching post?

I always look for this crumbling bench. It's along the laneway at the far right side when you come in. You have to look for it.
Back of the building we always called the "conference building." The space is used to hold more bits and pieces not on display.


Amateur historian's tools.
The air was thick and fresh. Lot's of mosquitos.






Front of conference building. This is one of the few buildings that looks like it may still be functional.
