Toronto's first free school.
I've attended a wedding here and it is beautiful inside with wonderful high ceilings, wood beams and graceful windows.
A bit of history about the schoolhouse:
In 1849 this building opened as Ward Street School, Toronto's first free school..Enoch Tirner, a Wealthy brewer financed the construction and operation of this school on land donated by Little Trinity Church. Its students were neighbourhood children of poor immigrant families, many of whom were Irish. The Toronto Board of Education assumed responsiblity for the school in 1851 when municipally funded education was adopted, and renamed it Trinity Street School.
In 1859 the school moved to a new location and this structure and property were returned to Little Trinity Church. Following the addition of the West wing in 1869 the building served as a Sunday school and community hall. Threatened with demolition in the late 1960's the Gothic Revival schoolhouse was saved and restored by concerned citizens, including architect Eric Arthur.
It reopened as a museum in 1972 and remains the oldest school structure in Toronto. Little Trinity Church is the building on the right.

Think Ahead

Upper Canada College.
UCC was one of the first institutions for secondary education in the province. The intention was that UCC would serve as a feeder school for the newly founded King’s College (later the University of Toronto). UCC was modeled after the great public schools of Britain, most notably Eton College. To this day, UCC maintains a link to the Royal Family through Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh. He acts as a Special Visitor and is also a member of our Board of Governors.
