| quote: | City of Toronto is proud to present the annual Doors Open Toronto — one weekend, once a year — when 150 buildings of architectural, historic, cultural and social significance open their doors to the public for a city-wide celebration.
The program allows visitors free access to properties that are either not usually open to the public, or would normally charge an entrance fee. Many locations have organized guided tours, displays and activities to enrich the visitor experience.
From heritage landmarks to modern structures, hidden gems, green roofs, places of worship, halls of learning, boardrooms, bedrooms, breweries, lighthouses, mansions, museums, theatres, national historic sites, centres of rail travel, cemeteries, factories, banking halls, architects' offices and more.
Doors Open Toronto invites you to get to know the city, whether you've lived in Toronto all your life or you're visiting for the first time. See Toronto like you've never seen it before! |
150 buildings of architectural, historic, cultural and/or social significance open their doors to the public. Admission is FREE.
Check out the 2010 building roster on the Buildings to visit page.

+1!
I was sooo excited after my eventfull day last year, that I promised myself I would make this an annual tradition.
It's all about strategic planning with the different vicinities in the city... maximizing time is key! |

| totally unrelated to doors open, but i started following links on that site.. some how came across a site that my old place was listed on. it's a heritage property.. one of the oldest buildings in Toronto and was built in 1851. It was 157 years old when i lived there. I'm sure someone must have died that at some point. |
