BUILDING INFORMATION
Name & Location:
224 Dovercourt Road
224 Dovercourt Road
Toronto
Little Portugal
First Owner:
Dr. Ida Eliza Lynd
Year Completed:
1888
OTHER IDENTIFICATION
Alternate Name:
Ida Lynd House, The Darling Mansion.
Notes:

Constructed for Ida Lynd, the second woman to practise medicine in Canada, this large corner residence stands out among the surrounding homes on the two streets it occupies, Dovercourt Road and Mackenzie Crescent. By comparison, it appears both extravagant and stylistically unique with its blend of Queen Anne Revival and Classical features. 

In 2014, restaurateur and entrepreneur Tanya Grossi bought the house and turned it into The Darling Mansion, a high-end bed and breakfast, film location, private venue, and artists' residence. It has since been a set for films and television series. The actor Geoffrey Rush hosted a private dinner party in the masion during 2015's Toronto International Film Festival.
