On a 2003 trip to Toronto with her husband, Sharon Elfenbein of Denver picked up a copy of the Toronto Star one morning and came across an insert about an event called Doors Open Toronto. Started in 2000 by the City of Toronto, the two-day event offers lovers of architecture the opportunity to explore dozens of buildings that are either closed to the public or normally charge an entrance fee. (This year’s event will be May 29 and 30.) Newspaper guide in hand, the Elfenbeins decided to spend a day visiting some of Toronto’s architectural treasures.
