townscape--keyhole and picture frames

an example of townscape at a toronto community housing building near scadding avenue and sherbourne street. the photos show a connecting passage or gateway that marks the change from a more public area to the north of buildings and the less public south garden.

a combination of two passage types written of by ivor dewolfe in the book Italian townscape. the keyhole passage which has a roof covering and the picture-frame passage, three of them visible in the photo, which would not have the ceiling cover in its pure form.
