appreciation of rural architecture and related history as it applies to one region York but as it could ap ply to the rest of Central On tario The book is of particular in terest to readers in this area because it covers York Region from the north boundary of Toronto to the southern boun dary of Simcoe County Some of the history of both Simcoe and York counties overlaps and in addition Holland Landing which is discussed in the book was once considered the gateway to Sim coe County and Highway 11 is merely an extension of old Yonge Street Basically the book is presentation in photo and prose of well over 100 pre Confederation buildings discovered from 1966 under the direction of the late professor Goulding by the Junior League of Toronto members who explored every country road and lane in the area to record all buildings predating 1855 It has been most capably written by Mary Byers Jan Kennedy and Margaret McBurney with sparkling clear photographs of the building taken by Hugh Robert
