Summary

| Description |
Named "Chudleigh" for his home town in Devon, England, the successful tanner and leather merchant George Lissant Beardmore built this Second Empire mansion in 1872. It was the first of many grand homes along a then-nascent Beverley Street that had only recently been parcelled off from the Boulton Estate, for which the Georgian Grange manor house served as the family seat from 1817. George Wathen Beardmore, G. L. Beardmore's son, later built additions to Chudleigh in 1890, 1900, and 1901, all designed by Eden Smith. Chudleigh became Toronto's Italian consulate in 1930, but was seized by the Government of Canada in 1939 at the outbreak of World War II and became a Royal Canadian Mounted Police barracks. In 1962, the building was returned to the Italian Government and served as the Centro Organizzativo Scuole Tecniche Italiane (COSTI), a centre that helped Italian immigrants integrate into Toronto society. The city's Italian consulate returned to Chudleigh in 1979 after extensively restoring the century home. |
