The Rise and Fall of Toronto's Street of Millionaires: Jarvis Street

Описание: Jarvis Street was once one of the most prestigious addresses in Toronto — a grand avenue of mansions, wealth, power, and old Canadian money.

Before Toronto became a city of glass towers and crowded streets, Jarvis Street was home to some of its richest families: bankers, industrialists, politicians, publishers, and business empires that helped shape the future of Canada’s largest city. Behind its iron fences and Victorian mansions, Toronto’s elite built a world of privilege, ambition, and influence.

But the golden age did not last.

This documentary tells the story of Jarvis Street’s rise and fall: from its days as Toronto’s “Street of Millionaires” to the slow disappearance of its mansions, the movement of wealth to new neighbourhoods, the arrival of apartments, traffic, decline, and reinvention.

How did one of Canada’s richest streets lose the power and prestige that once defined it?

A story of money, class, architecture, urban change, forgotten mansions, and the transformation of old Toronto.
