Georgian architecture in Toronto. When Loyalists fled the American Revolution in the 1780s, they brought British architectural traditions with them. Log cabins came first, then brick homes fashioned after styles from the reign of the first three King Georges of England (1750-1820). These weren't just shelter, they were statements of loyalty and identity. Once you learn to spot the symmetry, proportions, and classical details, you'll see Georgian architecture everywhere in Toronto. ... 📸 Image credits: Images via Wikimedia Commons (CC-licensed) • Campbell House, JK Liu • Mercer House, Bubba73 • The Grange, JK Liu • Thornbeck-Bell House, Leventio • Bank of Upper Canada, SimonP #TorontoArchitecture #TorontoHistory #HistoricToronto #HeritageToronto #ArchitectureLovers #architecture #toronto #GeorgianArchitecture #GeorgianStyle #ClassicalArchitecture #HistoricArchitecture #TorontoHeritage
