John Cox Cottage, Heritage residence in Riverdale, Canada
The John Cox Cottage at 469 Broadview Avenue features exposed log walls, a Victorian addition, and original cedar roofing beneath modern structural elements.
United Empire Loyalist John Cox received the land grant from Governor Simcoe in 1796 and constructed the initial log cabin measuring 16 by 24 feet.
The residence represents early Toronto settlement patterns, demonstrating the transition from British military outposts to permanent civilian communities in Upper Canada.
The building maintains its original east-west orientation, which allows natural light to enter throughout the day from multiple angles.
The structure contains logs from an 1840s cabin that were integrated into a kitchen addition, matching the original materials in dimension and cutting technique.
