Loring/Wyle Parkette

Loring/Wyle Parkette

Until October 1976 the long, narrow property served as the Moore Park turnaround loop for the TTC's Mount Pleasant streetcar. The parkette, established in 1984 at the request of the Moore Park Residents' Association, 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 carved 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.
