Historic hotspots to discover during Doors Open Toronto
Affectionately described as Toronto’s Downton Abbey, this remarkable heritage home was first built by Toronto financier James Austin back in 1866. Fully restored in the 1920s and 1930s, the impressive mansion has retained much of its original décor and is now filled with 20th-century artifacts and furnishings from the pre-war era. Visitors will have a chance to explore the third-floor servants’ rooms and wander through the beautiful gardens and parkland that surround the estate.

Toronto and Mississauga: Places to get caught up in history
The only museum in Toronto that represents the 1920s and 30s, the Spadina Museum is one of the most popular historical spots in the city and has become known as the “Downtown Abbey” house. Although this historical manor has had major restoration to its interior, its original looks are preserved through its stunning furnishings, reproductions and antiques. But if being outside is more your style, you can also wander around the six acres of landscaped gardens.
