Government House, Vice-regal residence in Toronto, Canada
The Government House consisted of four different buildings that served as official residences for the Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada and Ontario.
The first structure at Fort York was destroyed in 1813 when a powder magazine exploded during the War of 1812.
The buildings hosted provincial ceremonies and important state functions, reflecting the British colonial administrative traditions in Upper Canada.
None of the four buildings remain, but the Lieutenant Governor maintains offices at the Ontario Legislature for administrative and ceremonial functions.
Chorley Park, the final Government House built in 1915, cost over one million dollars and featured French Renaissance architecture with Credit Valley stone.
