Bell Estate Mural

This underpass mural is painted at the eastern side of Warden underpass near Danforth intersection. Its description reads:

"This mural illustrates the Bell estate's beautiful fieldstone house built in 1830. Just east of Warden Avenue which was designated as a historic site in 2011 and still stands today. Established on the property was Bell's Scarbrough Dairy which flourished from 1931 to 1943. The A.H. Mitchell Grocery Store was located on Kingston Road and made deliveries in the area by horse and buggy. The centre column features Oak trees, the red Canadian Maple and Birch trees which represent the Oakridge and Birchcliff communities."

Artist: De Anne Lamirande (2013)
