Explore Davenport Hill during one of its times of transition; from a neighbourhood of grand estates to an era of suburban development. In the 1920s, Lady Eaton moved out of Ardwold, her city home, an orchestra played at the Casa Loma Hotel, the Austins of Spadina helped lead Toronto's New Symphony Orchestra and Ernest Hemingway typed articles for The Toronto Star at his home nearby.

This fascinating area is where Toronto developed beyond a military post, beginning in the early 1800s. Some of our most remarkable buildings are here, including Canada's oldest bank building and the Flatiron Building. Condominiums have recently joined quaint shops, restored warehouses, and Toronto's Anglican cathedral.
