Places in a Book | Wilcox | Part 2

On the south end, what sits atop that is a large milk bottle. As you're heading northbound on Spadina on your right hand side in a red sandstone building, if we went back to 1905 this was the home of the very first downtown dairy, called City Dairy. So cut out of this milk bottle is their logo: City Dairy. And, why the milk bottle? Well, somewhere in the 1920s, 1925, City Dairy was bought out by Bordens. And it is said that atop their building was a large milk bottle. And I just wanted to bring that back, so this is a 5 foot milk bottle.

For me it's important that these 6 pieces were not created separate from each other, irregardless of the fact that they may be a block or so apart. They're always thought of as found in the title: "Places in a Book: Six Chapters", that they are related to a degree and there's a cohesiveness amongst them if you go from the very beginning from the north to the south. And the fact that out of all six poles one of them has this representation of an archaeological measure and that that echoes what it is that these pieces are to be considered as.
