468 Wellington Street West #201 - KING WEST

The loft of famed shrunken head collector, Billy Jamieson, is for sale.  Billy passed away suddenly this summer leaving behind his fiance, son and extensive collection.  

Jeanne Beker interviewed him years ago where he gave a tour of his house but I can't seem to find it.  Instead, here is a picture of Billy himself holding one of his famous shrunken heads.

The loft has not only seen the famous collection of shrunken heads, electric chairs, mummies and coffins but many famous people as well such as Mick Jagger and Steven Tyler.

Here are some photos of a Halloween party hosted by Billy and his fiance, Jessica Phillips where you can get a glimpse of the house and its history.

The loft itself is 6,000 square feet over 3 floors with 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and the listing price is $2,990,000.

That isn't a bad price for the size, location and history of this loft located in what has been voted one of the City's 'Top 10' buildings by Toronto Life.

And though his huge collection of tribal art won't stay, perhaps the stripper pole will.
