Homewood Avenue

Homewood Avenue is an historic street in downtown Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It connects to Wellesley Street in the north and Carlton Street in the south, east of Jarvis Street and west of Sherbourne Street. A narrow tree-shaded street, Homewood Avenue hosts a wide variety of the architecture of the past 150 years, including Victorian mansions, upscale condominiums and working class Edwardian houses. It was named after the estate of the Allan family whose house stood at the top of it. Later, the Wellesley Hospital, named after the Duke of Wellington, was located on the site until its demolition in 1998. It was the Allan estate that donated the land for Allan Gardens.
