Spadina House (Now Spadina Museum)

Three houses have been built on the site - the first house was built and designed in 1818 by Dr. William Baldwin which burned down in 1835. He built a second, smaller house in 1836 on the same foundation, which was torn down in 1866 by the new owner, James Austin when he had the current Spadina House built, which stands to this day.

Spadina House is just one of the many estates that have stood along "The Davenport Hill" in Toronto.
