The history of Toronto's lost palace Toronto TorontoHistory
Although it was not an exaggeration to refer to it as a palace, if compared to other homes in York, the term actually denoted that it was the official residence of a bishop.
Some people in York expressed the opinion that when Strachan built his house in 1817, he purposefully constructed an impressive structure in anticipation of eventually being appointed a bishop. John Strachan died on November 1, 1867. His funeral procession was one of the largest that the residents of Toronto ever witnessed.He was buried beneath the high altar in St. James Cathedral on King Street East. A brass plaque was placed over the internment site, and today, sunlight from the stained-glass windows in the sanctuary continue to reflect from its shiny surface.
