The St Lawrence District
The St Lawrence district, lying just to the east of Yonge Street, between The Esplanade, Adelaide Street East and Frederick Street, is one of the city's oldest districts, enjoying its first period of rapid growth after the War of 1812. In Victorian times, St Lawrence became one of the most fashionable parts of the city, and although it hit the skids thereafter, it has recently been revamped and (partly) gentrified. The district is best approached by heading east from Yonge Street along Front Street E. In addition to admiring St Lawrence Hall, one of the city's most attractive Victorian buidlings, don't miss the St Lawrence Market.
