Colborne Lodge is an historic house museum located in an 1836 home in Toronto's High Park.
John George Howard, an architect, engineer and prominent Toronto citizen, built this house, which became the property of the city following his death in 1890.
[1] Built in 1836 by City Surveyor John George Howard to house himself and his wife, Jemima Frances Meikle, Colborne Lodge is perched on the top of a hill overlooking Lake Ontario.
The house was named after Sir John Colborne, Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada from 1828 to 1836 and the first Canadian patron of Howard's architecture.
Annually at Hallowe'en, guides put on a "Haunted Walk" that discusses legends of ghost appearances at the Lodge.
