Mackenzie House, House museum with Georgian architecture in downtown Toronto, Canada.
The three-story residence at 82 Bond Street features tall windows, symmetrical design elements, and period furnishings from the Victorian era.
The residence, constructed in 1858, became the final home of William Lyon Mackenzie, the first mayor of Toronto, until his death in 1861.
The building contains a functional printing press from 1845, reflecting the publishing activities and political communications of nineteenth-century Toronto.
The museum opens Wednesday through Sunday, offering guided tours that explain the historical context of Toronto's early political development.
The structure incorporates decorative panels from the former Memorial Arch of Niagara Falls, which were transferred to this location in 1974.
