Century House Plaques
You are invited to apply for a Toronto's Century House Plaque!
The Century House Plaque Program looks to Torontonians living in houses 100 or more
years old to apply for a Century House historical marker, which will mark the street address
in addition to noting its status as a century house.
The Century House Plaque Program is the most recent addition to the Heritage Toronto
Plaques and Markers Program. The Plaques and Markers Program recognizes key people,
places and events in the city's past. One of the ways we are now doing this is through the
commemoration of houses that have been a part of this city for over a century.
Torontonians living in houses that are 100 or more years old are invited to apply for a
Century House Plaque. Century House Plaques are enamel, 11 ¼ inches x 9 ¾ inches in
size, and include street address number, the house's status, and 'Heritage Toronto.' A fee
of $250, payable to Heritage Toronto, covers the research, fabrication, and shipment of the
marker (Please note that receiving a plaque does not mean your house is automatically
listed or designated on the Inventory of Heritage Properties).
This historical marker will serve as an official recognition of your home's contribution to the
establishment of your community and to the greater built heritage of the city of Toronto.
A charitable agency of the City of Toronto with origins dating back to 1949, Heritage
Toronto works to promote Toronto’s archaeological, built, cultural, and natural heritage.
Through the Historical Plaques and Markers Program, we encourage and facilitate
community involvement in the commemoration of Toronto’s past. We hope that you'll join
us in our first initiative to commemorate century houses in Toronto. If you have any
questions, please contact Heritage Toronto's Plaques and Markers Program Coordinator at
416-338-0679 or [email protected].
