In the battle for sensible schooling and simple sanity on Millwood Road, Globe and Mail editor Alex Bozikovic has weighed in Monday on the other side with a mournful appeal to save Davisville Public School. It is a place that even architecturally, much less functionally, seems plain silly to a lot of people. This is especially true of those teeny little windows conceived back in the 60s as “playful.” For all we know, members of the Toronto Preservation Board who voted unanimously to save Davisville, also think the windows are silly. But they are old. TPB was out-ranked by Toronto and East York Council in July when, among others, Davisvlle principal Shona Farrelly demolished the argument for saving the place. She called it an “alien building”. See her presentation. Alex Bozikovic
