The Elephant House
The Elephant House is a house at 77 Yarmouth Road in the Christie Pits neighbourhood of Toronto, Canada that has a life-size plaster mammoth sculpture in the front yard. Placed there since 2003,〔("Big critters" ), agilitynut.com. Retrieved 29 January 2008.〕 the sculpture is titled ''An Elephant in the Room'' and was made as a student project.〔(Architectural Oddities and Loopy Landscaping Around Toronto ) ''BlogTo'', Posted by Derek Flack / November 5, 2009 〕
==History==
The sculpture was created in 1999 by Matt Donovan as part of his student thesis project at Ontario College of Art and Design. It has a fiberglass and chicken wire body, coated with spray foam over a plywood skeleton.〔 The sculpture stands nine and a half feet tall. It originally included a bronze red herring and a flock of life-size concrete black sheep; two of the latter were given to a professor, the herring kept by Donovan, and the elephant stored in his parents' basement.〔
In 2003, it was given to James Lawson, a friend of Donovan.〔 "From the moment I saw it, it just made me laugh," Lawson states.〔 Lawson describes himself as the "elephant keeper." He saw it as a "ridiculous" way of commemorating the prospects attending his first-time home owner status.〔
