James Cooper House
James Cooper House

James Cooper House is an historic house in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. In 2008, the house became the heaviest residential structural relocation in Canadian history, when it was moved 20 feet (6.1 m) east and 5 feet (1.5 m) south from its original location. The relocation took place over two phases, moving east on September 25, 2008 and south on December 11, 2008, at a reported cost of CA$1 million.The house is located at the corner of Sherbourne Street and Linden, just south of Bloor Street. It was built in 1881 for James Cooper, a wealthy importer, manufacturer, and retailer of shoes. It was one of many mansions in the Sherbourne and Jarvis area, once among Toronto's wealthiest. The eight bedroom house was opulently constructed in the Second Empire style with Classical detailing. The City of Toronto designated the structure a heritage property and affixed a Heritage Toronto plaque in 2010. After Cooper departed, the building became home to the Keeley Institute for Nervous Diseases, an organization assisting those with alcohol and substance abuse problems. In 1910, it became home to the Toronto Knights of Columbus, who used the facility as a meeting and fundraising venue for almost a century and added the assembly hall seen in the black and white photograph from 1956. Tridel development corporation purchased the building and its large lot in 2005, intending to erect a condominium tower on the site. The building would be preserved, but moved to a part of the lot about 60 feet away from its original location. The assembly hall addition would be demolished. This process began in 2008 when crews lifted the 800-ton house off its foundation and moved it to a temporary spot during construction. Tridel's new 32 storey tower is named "James Cooper Mansion," and the old house will serve as an amenities centre for the new building.

Storm Crow Manor

Storm Crow Manor is a science fiction-themed restaurant and bar in Toronto's Church and Wellesley neighbourhood, opened in 2018 by Canadian video game developer and entrepreneur Jason Kapalka, who previously cofounded PopCap Games. It has been called "Canada's nerdiest bar" by Toronto weekly NOW Magazine, "Toronto's greatest geek bar" by the Toronto Star, and "a nerd's paradise in downtown Toronto" by Toronto.com. The interior of the Manor includes a variety of themed rooms like the neon-filled Cyberpunk Room, the Jules Verne-themed Nautilus room hidden behind a moveable bookshelf, small Heaven and Hell-themed counterpart rooms next to each other, the Twin Peaks-themed Black Lodge with mirrored ceiling and black and white tile, and the Victorian Hunting Lodge, a satirical take on a colonial hunting lodge theme with the head of a Dungeons and Dragons Beholder on the wall in place of a buffalo or antelope head. It also features a skull-lined staircase to the basement restrooms, and a frequently photographed Warhammer-themed baby change table that is also an altar to "Tzeentch, the Changer of the Ways". There is also a gift shop, the Bizarre Bazaar, that sells Storm Crow-branded merchandise, dice and novelty stickers along with curiosities like "dinosaur erotica" by Lola Faust, a favourite of musician Devendra Banhart. Along with nerd culture-themed names for food and drink, the menu also includes items with Dungeons and Dragons-themed game dynamics: specifically, a roll of a 20-sided die (or d20). The "Random Shots" menu includes 20 different shots of varying palatability, with the specific shot decided by a roll of the die: a free Storm Crow-branded shot glass and a vodka-lemon-sugar shot with a roll of a 20, a shot of hot sauce if you roll a 1, and many in between. Similarly, the Dungeon Burger, Dungeon Pasta and Dungeon Poutine meals all include sauces and toppings chosen by random dice roll. The restaurant runs frequent events by and for the LGBTQ+ community, including monthly Drag Brunch hosted by local drag queen Messy Margaret, and has raised money during Pride Month for LGBTQ+ oriented charities including Let's Stop AIDS and The 519. Storm Crow Manor is the third Storm Crow restaurant opened by Kapalka, and is the only one that remains open post-COVID-19 pandemic after its Vancouver counterparts Storm Crow Tavern and Storm Crow Alehouse closed in 2020 and 2022 respectively. Although Kapalka expressed concern in a 2020 interview that the pandemic could lead to large-scale closures of neighbourhood restaurants like his, Storm Crow Manor survived the pandemic. Other restaurants in Kapalka's "Storm Crow Alliance" include Offworld Bar in Toronto, which opened in 2022 and is closing in the fall of 2025, and the tarot-themed speakeasy Arcana Food + Spirits in Vancouver, which opened in 2023. Storm Crow Manor is a favourite restaurant of Star Wars and Kim's Convenience star Paul Sun-Hyung Lee.
