The Grange, built in 1817 for D'Arcy Boulton Jr and his family,
is the
oldest remaining brick house in Toronto, the first home of the Art Gallery
of Ontario, and a National Historic Site. The house boasts two kitchens,
the
original 1817 one with a working brick bake oven and open hearth, and
an
1830s kitchen with a wood stove, rising cupboard, and servants bells.
Costumed interpreters demonstrate nineteenth-century baking, focusing
largely on bread making, using the bake oven. Admission is included
with AGO
admission.
