Scadding Cabin Toronto 🇨🇦

The log cabin, Toronto's oldest known surviving house, was constructed by John Scadding in 1794 during the 1st years of British Settlement. Scadding was a government clerk and close friend of Lieutenant Governor John Graves Simcoe. The cabin stood on the east side of the Don River on a 253 land grant that stretched from north of Lake Ontario to present day Danforth Avenue. Scadding lived there until he went back to England with the Simcoes in 1796. -Heritage Toronto 2012 #celebratewithtrip #tripblazers #urbanexplorer
