Guildwood Real Estate
The history of Guildwood revolves around The Guild Inn which was
founded in 1932 by Rosa and Spencer Clark as a retreat for artists
and craftsmen. "The Guild of All Arts," as it was then
known featured workshops and studios, in a picturesque setting atop
the Scarborough Bluffs. In the 1950's rising taxes forced the Clarks
to sell 400 acres of their property to the developers who built
the present day Guildwood neighbourhood. In 1978 the Metropolitan
Toronto and Region Conservation Authority purchased the remainder
of the Guild Inn estate, thus preserving its beauty for future generations
to explore and enjoy.
