A Perfect Itinerary for 3 Days in Toronto
"Stop by Osgoode Hall for a quick visit. This heritage building houses the Ontario Court of Appeal, the Superior Court of Justice, and the Law Society of Ontario. But what makes it especially unique is the Great Law Library, which not only holds the largest private collection of legal material in Canada but also has an enchanting antique design. The wood paneling and spiral staircase retain all the old-world charm and elegance."

City Walk: Historical Buildings Walking Tour, Toronto, Canada
"A heritage building spread over six acres in Toronto is the Osgoode Hall. This hall has garnered attention for 170 years for its legal activity, and was named Osgoode in honor of the first Chief Justice of the province, William Osgoode. Although construction began in 1829, this historic edifice was completed only 20 years later and under several architects, like John Ewart and W.W."

Photography Spots in Toronto for Instagram
"It might not look like much from the outside and it gets sorely overlooked by its neighbour Nathan Phillips Square. But in the spring it’s a perfect place to find cherry blossoms and in the fall it’s a blaze with fall colours. But it’s the inside that holds the secret photo spots and unless you’re a law student there are few chances that you’ll wander its halls."

It’s now a designated National Historic Site of Canada, and it’s a pretty building you won’t hear much about.

"This hidden treasure on Brimley Road might be one of the best insights into how early settlers lived when they arrived in Scarborough, before it became on the biggest suburbs in the 20th century. Set off a series of trails and greenery of the Thomson Memorial Park, this series of four buildings is especially beautiful in the summertime."
