Campbell House, Georgian house at University Avenue and Queen Street West, Toronto, Canada.
Campbell House is a classical residential building completed in 1822 with symmetrical windows, carved wooden details, and balanced proportions throughout. The rooms are furnished with pieces and objects from the 1800s that demonstrate how a wealthy household was organized during that period.
The building was erected in 1822 for a senior judge and initially stood at a different location in the city. It was relocated to its current position in 1972 in order to prevent its demolition.
The house displays how affluent families lived during the 1800s, with furnished rooms and objects from that period. The exhibitions reveal everyday customs and activities that help visitors understand daily life from that era.
The house is open to visitors and offers both guided tours and self-guided exploration of the rooms. It is helpful to check ahead for the best visiting times and whether special events are happening during your planned visit.
The building was completely restored after being rescued from demolition and later reopened by an important royal figure. This restoration made it a remarkable example of saving a heritage property in Canada.
