Author, Clergyman, Editor, and Historian

Henry Scadding was all of those things. As the founder of Toronto's first historical society, he preserved his father's cabin for posterity. Scadding Cabin is a log home built in 1794. It still exists and is maintained at Toronto's Canadian National Exhibition grounds. This plaque is on his preserved home - a sturdier structure made of brick - that sits in Trinity Square between the Church of the Holy Trinity and the Eaton (shopping) Centre in downtown Toronto.
