Paul Kane House, Historical residence in Downtown Toronto, Canada.

The Paul Kane House is a residential building with a buff brick exterior in downtown Toronto, built in stages between 1853 and 1879. The structure combines elements from different construction periods and shows the architectural development of that era.

Paul Kane bought the property in 1853 and built a cottage there; a fire in his stables on 29 May 1855 spread to neighbouring structures. Kane and his heirs enlarged the cottage and clad it in brick, and the family kept it until 1903. A church for the deaf later built a larger structure in front; when a developer demolished that church in the 1970s, the exposed house prompted a grass-roots campaign, and the city bought it in 1978 and designated it under the Ontario Heritage Act.

The residence was home to Paul Kane, an artist who devoted himself to documenting Indigenous peoples and North American landscapes during the 19th century. His works show the lives and environments of these cultures and made him an important figure in the artistic exploration of that era's North America.

The house stands at the rear of a housing cooperative on Dundonald Street, the street just north of Wellesley Street East; the city's parkette at 56 Wellesley Street East occupies what was Kane's front yard. The site is in downtown Toronto, within walking distance of Wellesley subway station.

The parkette at 56 Wellesley Street East occupies what was Kane's front yard. In 1985 an architect folded the surviving parts of the house into a housing cooperative on Dundonald Street, the street just north of Wellesley; the rear of the original house had been damaged by fire and was not kept.
