Title Banner - T.L.Guy Residence

Little is known about Wm. B. Crane, who lived and worked in Toronto circa 1900 to 1960, except that he made his living as a carpenter. He also received some training in drafting at the Central Technical School, as is evident in this architectural drawing he did for a house in east-end Toronto.

Thomas L. Guy was also a carpenter and he and Crane became acquainted in 1915 when they boarded in the same house on Essex Avenue. It is likely that Guy was in the business of house construction and that Crane drew up these plans for his use.
