Toronto - October 14 2010

Historic Don Jail “Governor’ House”... becomes a Home ... a unique children’s home

For well over a century, the big house at 562 Gerrard has stood formidably on the grounds of the Don Jail.

Designed by architect Charles Mancel Willmot in the style known as “Queen Anne Revival”, the three story, 5200 sq ft home was built in 1888 as a residence for the “Head Gaoler”...the Governor of the Don Jail.

In 2000, it was designated a historical site under the Ontario Heritage Act.

Now, “The Governor’s House” is about to begin a new life...as Toronto’s first children’s hospice.
