An 1851 Etobicoke farmhouse saved from demolition in 1980. This home was the birthplace of James Shaver Woodsworth in 1874.
This furnished Victorian home is located on the original Shaver farm in Etobicoke (now Toronto) Ontario. Saved from demolition in 1980 by enthusiastic volunteers who formed the James Shaver Woodsworth Homestead Foundation, the historic 19th-century house is now used for weddings, community meetings, for movie and photo shoots, and will provide tours for interested individuals and groups. A small collection of period and Shaver/Woodsworth artifacts is on display. Learn more about “Applewood”, the Etobicoke birthplace of J.S. Woodsworth, founder of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF) party, by visiting our web site at www.applewoodshaverhouse.ca .
