The Grange was built in about 1817 for D’Arcy Boulton Jr. At one time, the town of York (now Toronto) was surrounded by residential estates belonging to prominent citizens, and The Grange is one of the few to survive. Its symmetrical five-bay facade and central pediment reflect the conservative influence of the British classical tradition of the 18th century. The west wing represents two later additions. Given to the Art Museum of Toronto in 1911, The Grange is now owned by the Art Gallery of Ontario and is restored to the 1835-40 period.
