Toronto has a secret, living museum, but to find it you’ve got to look up, way up. Artifacts from our past often hang out above our heads, like the old wooden telephone and hydro poles (that some people hate and think are ugly) and, more subtly, slate roofs. Found here and there on top of Toronto’s oldest buildings (especially in the Cabbagetown and Corktown neighbourhoods), these are original roofs and the owners who keep them up should be commended. A fine example can be found in the Distillery District on the pump house — now Balzac’s coffee — the last Victorian building raised at the distillery in 1895.
