As part of the centenary celebration of the High Park, Wychwood, and Beaches branches of the Toronto Public Library system, this model shows the original architectural designs of the three branches as designed by Eden Smith & Sons. All three of these branches opened their doors in 1916 and were three identical branches that the Toronto Public Library built with a $50,000 grant from the Carnegie Corporation of New York.
The model was designed by Digital Innovation Hub staff Marek Holly using SketchUp Pro, and was divided into parts using NetFabb software.
