Guild Inn
The Guild Inn was an historic hotel in the Guildwood neighbourhood of Scarborough, Toronto, Ontario and was once an artists colony. The surrounding Guild Park is notable for a sculpture garden consisting of the rescued facades and ruins of various demolished downtown Toronto buildings such as bank buildings, the old ''Toronto Star'' building and the original Granite Club.
==History==
It evolved out of Ranelagh Park, a 33 room, Arts and Crafts-style manor house built in 1914 for Colonel Harold Bickford atop the Scarborough Bluffs, that was in 1921 sold to the Roman Catholic Church's Foreign Mission Society and renamed the China Mission College. It was, however, soon abandoned, remaining so until 1932, when it was purchased by Rosa Breithaupt Hewetson. After her marriage to Herbert Spencer Clark, the couple continued to reside in the mansion, and there fostered the arts, turning the home into a museum, so that by the time of the Second World War it had become The Guild of All Arts. The Clarks created across their property homes and workshops for artists,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=History > History of the Guild of all arts and the Guild Inn )〕 such as The Studio, which was assembled out of a garage and a stable from different parts of the grounds; it accommodated those practising batik, woodworking, weaving, and metalworking.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Lost Guildwood > The Studio )〕 The Clarks also began collecting architectural elements from demolished buildings and erecting them in the gardens of the Guild as follies.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=History > Spencer Clark Collection of Historic Architecture )〕
As more people were attracted to the artistic community on the bluffs, the Clarks made additions to the Guild in 1941 and 1942,〔 after which the Crown in Right of Canada leased the property as a base for the Women's Royal Naval Service, called HMCS ''Bytown II'', and following the conclusion of hostilities in Europe, retained it until 1947 as Scarborough Hall, a hospital for the treatment of nervous disorders. The house was returned to the Clarks, who restored to its pre-war functions, but were forced by rising property taxes to only six years later sell of their land to developers, though Spencer Clark oversaw the planning of the area that would become Guildwood Village.〔 On the remaining around the Guild itself, the Clarks continued collecting and adding to their array of architectural remnants, as Victorian, Beaux-Arts, and Gothic Revival buildings throughout the city were pulled down to make way for Toronto's post-war growth and new attitudes towards planning. Altogether, pieces of more than 60 structures were amassed,〔 from buildings such as the Toronto Bank Building and the home of Sir Frederick Banting,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=History > Spencer Clark Collection of Historic Architecture > Plan of the Guild Inn Grounds > 8 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=History > Spencer Clark Collection of Historic Architecture > Plan of the Guild Inn Grounds > 37 )〕 as well as various pieces of artwork, including 14 by Sorel Etrog.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=History > Spencer Clark Collection of Historic Architecture > Plan of the Guild Inn Grounds > S6 to S10 )〕 The Guild Inn proved so popular as a lakeside resort and artisans' community that in 1965 a six storey, 100 room addition and a swimming pool were added, plus further renovations in 1968.
