Governor's House

Wander up to one of Toronto's most architecturally charming historic structures — the Governor's House, built in 1888 for the Don Jail's first warden. Its Queen Anne Revival details, asymmetrical roofline, and ornate brickwork feel almost fairy-tale-like against the jail's stern backdrop. It's a fascinating free detour for anyone who loves the city's layered, often overlooked history. Perfect for after work — drop in solo or bring a friend. No experience necessary.
