Colborne Lodge, Historic house museum in High Park, Toronto, Canada.
The Regency cottage features three distinct chimneys, period furnishings, and original architectural elements within a preserved garden setting at the southern end of High Park.
John George Howard constructed this residence in 1836 after purchasing 165 acres of land for £500, naming it after Lieutenant-Governor Sir John Colborne.
The museum displays over 125 artworks created by John and Jemima Howard, including paintings and architectural drawings that document early Toronto development.
Guided tours operate Wednesday through Sunday at 11:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m., and 3:30 p.m., with general admission offered at no cost to visitors.
The burial monument near the lodge contains iron fencing from London's St Paul's Cathedral, marking the final resting place of John and Jemima Howard.
