What is "willowdale"

Willowdale is a federal electoral district in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, that has been represented in the Canadian House of Commons since 1979.

For a long time this riding was considered a Liberal stronghold, having been won by the Liberal Party of Canada in all but one election since 1980. Longtime Liberal MP Jim Peterson was the riding's MP from 1980 to 1984 and from 1988 to 2007, and Martha Hall Findlay was the riding MP from 2008 to 2011. Long considered a safe Liberal seat, Conservative candidate Chungsen Leung won by 932 votes on the May 2, 2011 federal election. In the 2015 federal election, the seat returned to the Liberal Party with Ali Ehsassi unseating Leung.

This district is home to some landmarks like Mel Lastman Square, the Toronto Centre for the Arts and the Claude Watson School for the Arts.

Willowdale, also known as Smith Place, Gunther Farm, and Willow Dale, is a historic home located at Painter, Accomack County, Virginia. It is a two-story, five-bay, gambrel roofed, frame dwelling with brick ends. There is a two-bay, single story extension that provides service from a 1 1/2-story kitchen with a large brick cooking fireplace at the south end. The wing dates to the early-19th century. The main block is an expansion of a 17th-century patent house of 1 1/2-stories that now forms the parlor at the north end of the main block. The house is representative of the vernacular “big house, little house, colonnade, kitchen” style that was common in colonial homes on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Also on the property are the contributing ruins of a barn. Willowdale is one of the few remaining examples of the dwelling of an early colonial settler, landowner and farmer. The Smith family has remained owners of Willowdale from 1666 to the present day.

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.
