Welcome to the scenic community of Casa Loma home to Toronto's very own castle.
The borders of this community are Bathurst Street to the west, St. Clair Avenue West,
Spadina Road and Lonsdale Road to the north, Avenue Road to the east and Dupont Street
to the south.
There are also a number of high-rise residential complexes offering lofts and large condominium
accommodations.
Spadina Road runs north-south through the neighbourhood, at the northern border of the
neighbourhood is the St. Clair Reservoir, Sir Winston Churchill Park and Roycroft Park.
The residential properties along Spadina and in this affluent community have large landscaped
lots and multi-storey homes often hidden from the street.
Located off Spadina in approximately the middle of this community is Spadina Museum and Casa
Loma.
The castle is surrounded on all sides by residential properties, meaning residents can enjoy the
Gothic revival style castle and grounds from their backyards.
Now a popular tourist location, Casa Loma was built by architect E. J. Lennox in 1911
for resident Sir Henry Pellatt, at 98 rooms it was the largest residence in Canada.
It did not become a museum until 1937.
Across Davenport Road from the Casa Loma grounds is the George Brown Casa Loma Campus.
The castle can be accessed from the main entrance but also by a staircase on Davenport Road.
The Toronto Archives are located on Spadina south of Casa Loma and just north of a commercial
railway tracks.
At the south border of the community is Dupont subway station.
Along Avenue Road are a number of high-rise residential properties and two parkettes between
St.Clair and Lonsdale. Thank you for viewing the community of Casa
Loma.
