A couple of houses from today's walk


First, the Ashbridge’s house on Queen Street East. The family once owned 300 acres of prime land, lake shore to Danforth, and ran a big farm. The grounds on the east side of the house are still large by today’s standards…very attractive and park-like.

Of the many such gingerbread houses that still exist in Toronto, this one at 28 Coxwell is one of the best preserved (restored?) that I have seen. Cute.
