Author Information

Scott Kennedy's first address was R.R. #1, York Mills, at what is now the corner of Bayview Avenue and Highway 401: the busiest highway in North America. There were still farms in the area when Scott was a boy, and when he grew up he began to feel nostalgic, so in 2010 he began to document the history of vanquished Toronto farmland as best he could. Since then he has written four books on Toronto history, including books on the farms of Willowdale, Don Mills, and York Mills. This new book takes us on a further journey along the timeline of the area, and tells us the stories of homes, built on farmland following the Second World War, that have since been demolished for monster houses. Scott now lives in Toronto's Beaches neighbourhood, in a Heritage Conservation District he helped create in 2004, where houses are protected from demolition.
