Loring-Wyle Parkette〔(City of Toronto: Loring-Wyle Parkette )〕 is a small plot of land, on the northeast corner of the Mount Pleasant Road and St. Clair Avenue East intersection in Toronto's Moore Park neighbourhood, dedicated to the art and memory of two famous Toronto sculptors: Frances Loring (1887–1968) and Florence Wyle (1881–1968). Until October 1976 the long, narrow property served as the Moore Park Loop turnaround for the Toronto Transit Commission's Mount Pleasant streetcar. The parkette, established in 1984 at the request of the Moore Park Residents' Association,〔(Toronto Historical Board Plaque )〕 is located one block north of the converted church schoolhouse at 110 Glenrose Avenue that served as the artists' studio. The parkette contains busts of both women, each modeled by the other. In addition, there are 2 sculptures done by Wyle: ''Young Girl'' (1938) and ''Harvester'' (1940). Other than the bust of Wyle, there are no other works by Loring displayed in the parkette, as she preferred to work on the monumental scale, and the small area allotted is not suitable for works of that size. ==Gallery of sculptures== File:Frances Loring.JPG|''Loring by Wyle'' (1914) File:Florence Wyle.JPG|''Wyle by Loring'' (1914) File:Young Girl.JPG|''Young Girl'' by Florence Wyle (1938) File:Harvestewyler.JPG|''Harvester'' by Florence Wyle (1940) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Loring-Wyle Parkette」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
