Yorkville House Studio  

In 1967 this building, 93 Hazelton Avenue, contained the tiny first Toronto studio apartment of Mark Satin, the U.S. war resister who co-founded and ran the Toronto Anti-Draft Programme for young Americans who refused to fight in Vietnam (see, e.g., Pierre Berton's book 1967: The Last Good Year, Doubleday Canada, 1997). He often housed newly arrived war resisters here. Late at night in his studio, in longhand, Satin wrote parts of the Manual for Draft-Age Immigrants to Canada, an international "underground bestseller" in 1968-70 published by House of Anansi Press. Satin's studio cost $9 a week and he was often late with his rent. Times were different then!
