James Cooper House, Heritage house in Toronto, Canada.

This Second Empire style residence at Sherbourne Street and Linden features eight bedrooms with Classical architectural details and decorative plaster moldings throughout the structure.

Built in 1881 for James Cooper, a footwear manufacturer and retailer, the building later housed the Keeley Institute for Nervous Diseases and Toronto Knights of Columbus.

The James Cooper House represents Victorian residential architecture and demonstrates the evolution of Toronto neighborhoods from single-family homes to urban developments.

The house currently functions as an amenities center within a 32-story condominium development, maintaining its heritage designation under Ontario Heritage Act protection.

In 2008, the 800-ton structure underwent Canada's largest residential relocation, moving 20 feet east and 5 feet south at a cost of one million Canadian dollars.
