Campbell House was built in 1822 for Upper Canada Chief Justice Sir William Campbell and his wife Hannah, and is one of the few Georgian buildings left in Toronto. Threatened with demolition, it was saved by The Advocates' Society and moved from Adelaide Street to Queen Street West and University Avenue in 1972. Visits are by walk-in guided tour of the period rooms, and the house and gardens also host contemporary exhibitions, immersive theatre and the Lost & Found garden installation of salvaged Toronto architectural fragments.
