Save Victorian Heritage Homes - Restoration Resources (continuous list)
“If you keep knocking down old heritage buildings and keep putting up modern buildings that could go anywhere (on the planet), pretty soon you’ve lost the things that make Toronto, Toronto.”

MANAGER OF THE ARCHITECTURAL CONSERVANCY OF ONTARIO
I proudly own a grand 3 storey victorian home of 4500+ sq.ft, which needs to be restored. So after some research, thought I'd start a thread to aggregate some resources I found online which may be helpful for people like me who are proudly victorian home owners. Please add your list by replying to this thread, especially Toronto based authentic victorian restoration product / service resources, including vintage and antique stores.
Unfortunately many old victorian homes in Toronto have gone through extensive remodelling and renovations, losing their original charms and characters.
Here's a chance to educate and help on how to restore a Victorian right, how to make your victorian beautiful, timeless and increase your home value. Please add your views and knowledge here. Thanks!
PS: if you have already done a similar restoration / renovation, please kindly share some interior photos for inspiration if possible.
