1881

Toronto Collegiate Institute
A charming building!

Two new wings were added to the school, perhaps in order to add beauty. The building does have a je ne sais quoi, non?

However, the design and construction of the building became a scandal. There were suggestions that money was handled dishonestly (shades of William and Samuel Jarvis!) and, even worse, serious concern that parts of the building would collapse.

TRIVIA --

  • The first scientific apparatus arrived in the school in 1881.
