Shannon Kyles on The Story on Ontario Architecture
Allan talks with architectural historian Shannon Kyles about her book, The Story of Ontario Architecture: What We Built and Why We Built It. They discuss how architecture provides one lens for looking at the history of Ontario communities. From Gothic Revival churches and Greek Revival court houses and town halls to the Italianate commercial buildings along the main streets of most Ontario small towns, Shannon explains how different architectural styles reflect the values, economics, and aspirations of the people who built them.
