Ashbridge Estate, Ontario Heritage Trust property in Leslieville, Toronto, Canada.

The Jesse Ashbridge House features Regency style architecture with neoclassical elements, including brick quoins and decorative cornice brickwork on Queen Street East.

The Ashbridge family, English Quakers from Pennsylvania, received 600 acres of land near Lake Ontario in 1796 as United Empire Loyalists after the American Revolution.

The estate collection contains household artifacts from six generations, including an original land grant, samplers, a family bible, and an 1888 canoe.

The two-acre estate at 1444 Queen Street East opens to visitors in May, offering self-guided tours and access to washroom facilities.

Archaeological investigations between 1987 and 2000 uncovered evidence of both late 18th-century settlement and prehistoric Indigenous occupation on the property.
