Annesley Hall

Annesley Hall is a student residence at the University of Toronto featuring red brick walls, stone ornaments, and steep roofs in Queen Anne Revival style. The building displays Tudor-style windows and decorative architectural details that define its distinctive exterior appearance.

The building was constructed in 1903 and was the first dedicated women student residence built in Canada. This establishment represented an important milestone for female education at university institutions across the country.

The residence was built specifically to house women students and remains central to student life at Victoria College on campus today. The shared spaces and rooms reflect a long tradition of providing young women with a dedicated place to study and live together.

The building sits at Queen's Park in the heart of the University of Toronto campus. A major renovation in 1988 added modern facilities throughout while preserving the original architectural character of the structure.

Each room in the building has a different floor plan, creating varied interior spaces throughout. Specialized spaces including the Tackaberry Library and Music Room serve distinct functions for students living here.
