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.
