About
The Grange Walk, one of the first walks we offered, highlights the neighbourhood that developed around the Grange, one of the oldest surviving brick buildings in Toronto.
On this engaging, popular walk, we’ll encounter different architectural styles and a variety of social and cultural institutions that figured prominently in the area’s development – all reflecting a social consciousness that helped shape the growth and design of their community.
Beginning at the Art Gallery of Ontario, we’ll then proceed through the neighbourhood, learning about notable landmarks along the way: Michener Institute of Education and OCAD (Ontario College of Art and Design) University; former homes of the wealthy including Lambton Lodge, Devon House, and Chudleigh House; social institutions such as Mon Sheong Home for the Aged, Deep Quong Manor, and University Settlement; and five different houses of worship. The walk ends at Grange Park, the site on which the Grange stands within this vibrant community.
