Whats the oldest house in Toronto?
There are a few candidates for Toronto’s oldest house. Scadding Cabin, on the Exhibition grounds, is said to have been built east of the Don River, south of Queen Street, around 1794 and moved in 1879. The John Cox house at 469 Broadview Avenue is thought to be from 1807 or before, and is still on its original site. Drumsnab, built ca. 1830 at what is now 5 Drumsnab Road in Rosedale, is another very old home. A log cabin on the grounds of the Guild Inn in Scarborough was once thought to be from the 1700s, but a archaeological dig found evidence of it being much younger.
