The Background Of Victorian Architecture In Canada
Homes are often portrayed as Victorian, but that isn't really a style. From 1835 and 1900 there were many kinds of construction built and 'Victorian' architecture describes them all. There are common features to look out for, but with the plethora of styles used it is hard to say it is a particular style. The buildings are constructed in brick, stone, and timber, using a sometimes-eclectic mixture of Classical and Gothic motifs.
The most remarkable type of Victorian architecture anywhere in Ontario was the home. All types of home, from the urban town property to the large country farm have been touched by this decorative style and solid craftsmanship. When builders looked at the design of homes, they looked to patterns, frills and swirls to create that Victorian elegance. These decorations were not necessarily enjoyed by everyone, with some Europeans feeling that the designs were over the top and too complex. The end result looked good, regardless of the fact that there were completely distinct architectural styles over the years.
The Cabbagetown Victorian Homes are here
Today's builders build properties that leave little to the imagination, with buildings looking the same as the neighbouring construction with little to distinguish between them, unlike the builders of Toronto's first suburbs. To start with, property planners wanted land and that was found north of Queen and west of Parliament, where land had been cleared in the 1830's for farming. These empty ‘park lots' would in the course of time house the residences of some of York's (as Toronto was formerly known) most prominent officials.
The first examples of Toronto Victorian architecture were farm houses and some cottages. Land subdivided into a grid design of streets by John Howard, were the first building lots to be marketed in 1845. The narrow pieces of land of only 15 to 20 foot in width, made the most reasonable house the terraced (row or attached homes). There is a home on Sherbourne street which didn't conform to the usual house build; that was Allandale which is found at number 241 and is a rather elaborate Victorian example. The residence flaunts a large rustic porch, with an elaborate trim and two-toned decorative brick work; the owner being Enoch Turner, the brewer, who had it built in the late 1840's. Away from Sherbourne street there is another fine example of early Victorian style, this time at 424 Ontario Street - the property featuring an ornate gingerbread trim on the peaks and porches.

Better insulation or more efficient boiler?
I have a Victorian Mid Terrace (pre 1900) the gas bill seems high. The walls are solid and the cost of insulating them internally or externally is prohibitive (I cannot get a grant either). So the question is do I add more loft insulation, or shall I look at buying a more efficient boiler. I think my boiler is currently rated as category D for efficiency (UK)
I guess the easiest way to some it up is would you carry around a 2000 pounds in a Honda Civic, it might give you a little better gas mileage than a truck but would be working its guts trying to meet the demand put on it so most of the efficiency would be lost and the life span shorten by excessive strain put on it. Energy efficiency starts with insulation and sealing off heat lose. Sorry but there is no short cuts. I love the old houses but in 1890 heating cost weren't an issue,you put on an extra sweater
