The Daily Photoist: April 28, 2008

Every weekday morning, bright and early, we feature a photo (or two) from a photographer in the Torontoist Flickr Pool. It's our way of giving the many excellent photographers in our pool the attention that they deserve.

Crack house

 

The Waverley is a hell of a lot more than a "crackhouse," it's an important part of Canadian history. The Waverley is where Arthur Lucas stayed in 1961 before committing a double homicide in The Annex. Lucas, a Black man from Detroit, became one of the last two men hanged in Canada, along with Ronald Turpin. See http://www.truecrimecanada.com/ and http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/books/Last-Die-Ronald-Turpin-Arthur-Robert-Hoshowsky-Peter-C-Newman/9781550026726-item.html?ref=Search+Books%3a+%2527Hoshowsky%2527&sterm=Hoshowsky+-+Books
