The day has finally come! After years of research, analysis, writing, and travel, real copies of Toronto Edwardian: Frank Darling Architect of Canada’s Imperial Age have landed at ERA!
We couldn’t be happier with the result.
There are so many people to thank, including: the team at MQUP; Sean Blank and Daniela Risi as the project’s steadfast research assistants; and of course the leadership and staff at ERA for supporting this project that will finally shed light on this important Canadian architect.
The book contains fine contemporary photography from Sean Galbraith, Brent Wagler, Ben Rahn of A-Frame and Nigel Molaro of ERA.
We’re so looking forward to celebrating at the book launch next week!

At the heart of the University of Toronto’s St. George Campus, King’s College Circle has long been a defining open space, a ceremonial landscape, and a daily crossroads for generations of students.
The Landmark Project reimagines this historic setting for the next century of campus life. A coordinated series of landscape transformations removed vehicles from the Circle, restored it as a pedestrian-focused green space, and created new opportunities for gathering, reflection, and movement through the campus core. Below the renewed lawn, a new underground parking structure integrates essential infrastructure discreetly within the historic urban landscape.

Thank you to and for co-hosting the 2025 National Trust for Canada Conference in beautiful Kjipuktuk (Halifax). Our staff had a great time attending this year’s presentations, tours, workshops, and field sessions!
This year’s theme, “Heritage Now!”, explored how heritage can respond to today’s most urgent challenges — from climate change and housing pressures to equity and representation. Halifax’s rich heritage and vibrant cultural landscape made it the perfect setting for these conversations.

Construction has recently wrapped on the rehabilitation of the Drug Trading Company Building at 25 Ontario Street.
Built between 1942 and 1946 with a distinctive Art Deco and Streamline Moderne façade by Margison and Babcock Engineers, the building has been carefully adapted as a high-performance workplace office tower.
Led by , ERA provided heritage planning, conservation strategy, and oversight of stabilization and restoration. Original features such as the decorative metal entrance doors, pinned metal signage, and T-profile steel windows were reinstated, while sensitive repairs and adaptive interventions ensured long-term stability and functionality.
