Taylor Memorial

Taylor Memorial Library is full of history, while the original library isnt there anyone more then is still a nice library especially since it contain a stain glass window and a fireplace that was part of Massey home that was near Victoria Park and Dentonia Park, which is now Crescent Town that is home to Massey and Taylor Creek.
So this library was original part of Birchcliff School and named Birchcliff library at Birchcliff and Kingston Road before it was permantly moved to it current location at Warden and Kingston due to offer by Fred Taylor as memorial Library to his late wife Florence Taylor who was a Scarborough native.
The library has various piece in the library that celebrate this as you will see in some of my photos.
Outside of the history, it a nice, small cozy library in which you can just sit and relax by the window and read.

Taylor Memorial is another library that is full of Scarborough History.
It is named in memory of Florence Taylor who was born in East Scarborough 1891. Her husband has made an offer of his property to the Library Board for use a library as a memorial of his wife.
The building we seeing now is not the original as it was demolished and rebuild in 1984. If you notice the large stained glass window called Blue Bird of Happiness and the fireplace, both originally from the Massey family’s home, Dentonia Park (Victoria Park-​Dawes Road), are saved from the old house/​library.
Aside from the history, Taylor Memorial Library is small and cozy. Nice seating area right in front of the 2 sided fireplace. I feel like I have in a skiing Lodge instead of a library.

Tidy small library. Highlights include the garden patio with bistro style tables and an indoor fireplace. I’m eager to go back in the winter when the fireplace is turned on and read a book on the couch or the comfy chairs. There is nice artwork on display. I didn’t notice any space for formal studying but still a great atmosphere to read a book.
