My ally is the Force. And a powerful ally it is.

Hello world. I am a teacher with the Toronto District School Board in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I'm passionate about photography, travel (I've traveled to 60+ countries), philosophy and Star Wars. By day, I teach Geography and Social sciences to a bunch of amazing kids, and by night I am a budding fiction novelist. I also very much enjoy cooking, and reading (or writing) about unique foods, dishes and recipes.

I also contribute to a few Toronto-based newspapers on the topics of Education and writing, which, accidentally, brought me to Wikipedia. I am fascinated by the "academic dialogue" that happens in the community; and would love to be a part of it.

The Felix M. Warburg House is a mansion at 1109 Fifth Avenue on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in New York City. It was built from 1907 to 1908 for the German-American Jewish financier Felix M. Warburg, in the Châteauesque style, and designed by C. P. H. Gilbert. After Warburg's death in 1937, his widow sold it to a real estate developer. When plans to replace it with luxury apartments fell through, ownership reverted to the Warburgs, who donated it in 1944 to the Jewish Theological Seminary of America. In 1947, the Seminary opened the Jewish Museum in the mansion. The house was named a New York City designated landmark in 1981 and was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. In 1993, Kevin Roche constructed an annex to the house in Gilbert's style, built with stone from the same quarry that supplied the original mansion. Critical reviews of the original house's architecture have generally been positive while the extension received a mixed reception. (Full article...)
