Description
The Don Jail is one of Toronto's most important mid-19th-century public buildings. Closed in 1977, it now serves as the administrative offices for Bridgepoint Active Healthcare, after a massive restoration project which won the 2016 Built Heritage Award.
It was also a featured location on our 2017 bus tour, offered as part of the Heritage Primer program. Stops featured past and present nominees and winners in the built heritage category of the Heritage Toronto Awards.
