THE GRANGE The Grange was built about 1817 for D'Arcy Boulton Jr.. At one time the town of York (now Toronto) was surrounded by residential estates belonging to prominent citizens and The Grange is one of the few to survive. Its symmetrical five-bay facade and central pediment reflect the conservative influence of the British classical tradition of the 18th century. The west wing represents two later additions. Given to the Art Museum of Toronto in 1911, The Grange is now owned by the Art Gallery of Ontario and is restored to the 1835-1840 period.

Français

The Grange fut constuite ver 1817 pour d'Arcy Boulton Jr.. Cette demeure est l'une des rares illustrations qui restent des magnifiques domaines que possédaient alors les citoyens les plus influents de York (Toronto). Le classicisme cher aux architectes britanniques du XVIIIe siècle se manifeste dans l'harmonie de la façade, percé de cinq baies, et dans le fronton central. L'aile ouest est de construction plus récente. Versé au Art Muséum of Toronto en 1911, l'édifice, restauré selon l'aspect qu'il présentait entre 1835 et 1840, appartient au Art Gallery of Ontario.
