    This was a fascinating read. Thanks so much. I never knew that Mary Pickford was originally from Toronto! Another good Canuck trivia point.

    It is so intersting to read so many facts and history about Pickfair. I can imagine how exciting it must have been to be so close to this house. it is sad that they changed it with the reconstruction, it looks so different from the original. A house with so much history I wouldn't have made any changes to the that gorgeous house

    They made movies in 1929? Kidding!! Oh my, I need to watch Taming of the Shrew again, that looks terrific!

    Oh yes, I would! There's something so romantic about the silent film stars and the stars of the 30s and 40s. Such a shame that Pickfair is gone--it was the stuff of legend! Wonderful lens!

    Very interesting. Loved the music too but sad that Pickfair was torn down. I so wish Americans would be more history minded and save more buildings instead of replacing them.

    Awesome Lens. It's too bad the original mansion was torn down. I can imagine their home was pretty popular in its day. ~Squid Greeter
