Banting House, National historic site in London, Canada
The two-story yellow brick house at 442 Adelaide Street North contains medical artifacts and exhibits documenting the development of insulin treatment.
Frederick Banting conceived the idea for insulin research in this house during the early morning hours of October 31, 1920, marking a medical milestone.
The building features permanent installations that detail the legacy of Frederick Banting as both a medical researcher and wartime medical officer.
Visitors can explore the house from Tuesday through Friday between 12:00 PM and 4:00 PM, with extended weekend hours from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM.
The Flame of Hope burns continuously in front of Banting House until scientists find a cure for diabetes, symbolizing ongoing medical research.
