About
Depicts the property known as Briarly, home to the William Montgomery family from 1870-1989.
Briarly was demolished in 1989 and the loss of this beautiful structure was heartbreaking for the heritage community of Toronto. Rather than portraying Briarly as a symbol of mourning and loss, this mural was created to show endurance and renewal, to convey a sense of comfort, peace, home and family. It is painted in Post-Impressionist style.
