HISTORY

Built in 1866, this house was home to James Austin and his descendants and became a preservation project under the direction of the Toronto Historical Board. The Garden Club researched, planned and financed the restoration to the gardens. The house represents all the periods through which it passed and the landscape too reflects this passage of time. The Garden Club was the recipient of the Heritage Canada Foundation National Award of Honour for this project.
