The University of Toronto and Old World Stone have
a close, long-lasting working relationship with one
another. When St. Michaels’s College required
their college crests to be carved, they knew who to
call upon. Yet again, another fine example of our banker
masons at work crafting the traditional school crests
for students and alumni to be proud of this prestigious
college within the University of Toronto.

A small monument to a young Ben Franklin, one of the
United States great inventors and statesmen stood outside
a public school for years. It was recently defaced by
vandals who shattered the head and right arm. Rather
than replacing the entire statue, it was decided that
it would be more cost efficient and historically accurate
to reproduce only the missing pieces.
