64 Woodlawn Avenue West, also known as the Caldecott House, is a heritage residence in Toronto's St. Paul's area, recognized for its architectural significance. Designed by renowned architect Eden Smith in the early 20th century, the house showcases the Period Revival style influenced by the Arts and Crafts Movement, featuring an asymmetrical plan, intricate rooflines, and distinctive chimneys. Commissioned by prominent businessman Robert Stapleton Pitt Caldecott, the house was designated under the Ontario Heritage Act in 2018. Recent controversies surrounding Caldecott's views on immigration led to discussions about the heritage designation, but the Toronto Preservation Board upheld its status due to the building's unique architectural qualities. The property remains a point of interest for both tourists and researchers exploring Toronto's architectural history and the complexities of heritage designations.
