1873 – St Andrews Manse, Toronto, Ontario

st_andrews_presbyterian_manse_lge

A fine house next to St Andrews Presbyterian Church in a colonial style with a nice steep mansard roof, detailed dormer windows and rooftop decorative railing. Like many building across Eastern Canada, there was a strong reliance on Second Empire styling for more formally designed buildings. Many were later replaced by Neo-classical buildings in the early twentieth century.
