Henry
Scadding's House |
6 Trinity Square, is
located behind the Eaton Centre and adjacent to Holy Trinity Church. It was the home of
the Reverend Henry Scadding between 1862 and 1901. The historic plaque on the building
reads: "Scadding was born in Devonshire, England in 1813, and came to Upper
Canada in 1821. Educated at Upper Canada College and Cambridge University, he was ordained
to the Anglican priesthood at St. James Church, Toronto, in 1838, and the same year became
Master of Classics at Upper Canada College. In 1847 Scadding was appointed first rector of
the nearby Church of the Holy Trinity, where he served until 1875. He lived in this town
house, which complements the church and was designed by William Hay, from its completion
in 1862 until his death. Here scadding, a noted scholar, wrote numerous religious,
literary, and historical works, including his best-known books, "Toronto of Old"
(1873) and, in collaboration with J.C. Dent, "Toronto: Past and Present"
(1884)."
