Paul Kane House, Historical residence in Downtown Toronto, Canada.
The Paul Kane House features a buff brick exterior and contains elements from different construction periods between 1853 and 1879.
The property remained in the Kane family for fifty years until 1903, when it transitioned through various owners including the Evangelical Church of the Deaf.
The residence belonged to Paul Kane, an artist who documented Indigenous peoples and North American landscapes through hundreds of paintings during the 19th century.
The City of Toronto purchased and preserved the structure in 1978, incorporating it into a residential development that opened in 1986.
A small parkette now marks the location of the original front yard at 56 Wellesley Street East, with a plaque commemorating Kane's contributions.
