The Sir Ernest MacMillan family home is a Toronto heritage property located at 115 Park Road, in the Rosedale neighbourhood of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was the family home of Sir Ernest and Lady MacMillan (née Elsie Keith), and it was constructed during 1931 and 1932. In 1931, MacMillan and his wife commissioned Page and Steele architects of Toronto for the construction of a new home at 115 Park Road. The family home was later designated a Heritage Property, as adopted by Toronto City Council, on January 22, 1979. The house is also included in the South Rosedale Heritage Conservation District. South Rosedale was designated as a Heritage Conservation District under Part V of the Ontario Heritage Act, and also enacted by Toronto City Council, on February 7, 2003.

Toronto Reference Library
Toronto Reference Library

The Toronto Reference Library is a public reference library in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The library is located on the corner of Yonge Street and Asquith Avenue, within the Yorkville neighbourhood of downtown Toronto. The Toronto Reference Library is the largest and most visited branch of Toronto Public Library (TPL). Established in 1909, the Toronto Reference Library initially operated from another building on College Street. In the late-1960s, management of the library was assumed by the Metropolitan Toronto Library Board. Believing the space in the original structure to be inadequate, Raymond Moriyama was tasked to find a new site, and was later commissioned by the library board to design a new library building for the site. The new building was opened to the public in 1977 as the Metropolitan Toronto Reference Library. The library continued to operate under that name until 1998, when it reverted to its original name. The building underwent renovations and expansion from 2009 to 2014. The library is the largest public reference library in Canada with an extensive collection of books, manuscripts, microfilm, and other items. Most items in its collection are designated for reference-use only, and the public is unable to borrow these items for use outside the library. In addition to providing access to its collection, the library also hosts a number of public reading events, as well as provide technical access and services to the public.
