Upper Canada College Toronto
Originally established in 1807 as the
Home District Grammar School of York, the first principal of which was
Dr. G. O. Stuart, who was succeeded by Dr. Strachan in 1813. In 1816 a
new building was erected, popularly known as the "Old Blue School."

the present building in Deer Park. =Index=: (Baldwin / La Fontaine / Hincks era) Land grant for, in
