Heritage Website
Welcome to the NRRA Live!
Heritage website. Effective September 12, 2005, North Rosedale is a Heritage Conservation District (HCD).
This portal accesses historical
information and photographs of each of the 917 residential
properties in North Rosedale. This historical research
has been collected over thousands of hours by countless
numbers of neighbourhood volunteers, to form the foundation
for the North Rosedale Heritage study. The Heritage
study has found that North Rosedale's streetscapes,
bounded on three sides by ravines still in their natural
state, have significant, unique, heritage or historical
value, with 51% of the homes rated as having historical
buildings. Few Toronto neighborhoods have such a rich
architectural variety of homes, built by renowned architects,
using classic styles, many of which have been and continue
to be home to historically significant Canadians.

This portal accesses historical information on each
North Rosedale residential property, including when
it was built, Heritage rating, architect, early occupants
and by street. This information was collected from the
City of Toronto Directories and archives. Data has not
been collected for homes built post 1967, except where
there has been notable architecture.

The data collection and portal design and content formatting
has become a reality through the efforts of many volunteers.
