Our Home

182 St. George St

Secluded in the Annex just north of the university campus, lies 182 St. George, home of the Toronto Chapter of Delta Upsilon. Built in the Worker Cottage style, the house stands out from the Richardsonian-Victorian style that pervades the Annex with its symmetrical stone façade and Greek pillars. The house was completed in 1911, just as construction on the nearby Casa Loma was underway, at a time when the Annex housed Toronto's antique Anglophone aristocracy.

Located in the heart of the Annex, the fraternity house is just steps away from the University of Toronto campus, offering unparalleled convenience for students. The neighborhood is known for its vibrant culture, diverse dining options, and proximity to public transportation, making it an ideal setting for university life.

Delta Upsilon at the University of Toronto is committed to building better men through its core principles of friendship, character development, cultural diffusion, and the advancement of justice. Living at 182 St. George Street provides members with the opportunity to immerse themselves in a supportive community that values personal growth and collective success.

Life at 182

A Home That Fosters Brotherhood

Our fraternity house isn't just a place to live — it's a community built to support your academic, social, and personal development. Enjoy access to an industrial-grade kitchen, dedicated study library, spacious TV rooms, in-house gym, and pool rooms for leisure and bonding. It's more than housing — it's home.

This section is made possible thanks to the dedicated research and effort of Nikita Kullojka, our Chapter Historian, whose commitment has brought these histories to light.

The house was built on top of the basin of the buried Taddle Creek, the river which once ran through Philosopher's Walk, carving its relief. 182 St. George was a custom order for Harris L. Hees, whose son George Harris Hees would become a prolific Cabinet Minister in the Governments of John Diefenbaker and Brian Mulroney, earning the moniker of the second most powerful man in the conservative party. The architect of the house, Eden Smith, was a star of the early 20th Century, whose craftsmanship also graces such iconic and institutional buildings as Upper Canada College, the Munk School of Global Affairs, and the present Italian Consulate.

To this day, many of the original pre-war components from the crown-molding to the wainscotting have been preserved by the diligent care of the Fraternity. For its unique historical and architectural significance, 182 St. George is protected by the Ontario Heritage Act, and is listed on the Architectural Conservancy of Ontario.

Delta Upsilon moved into 182 St. George in July of 1958, its fifth house in Toronto. Since that time, it has offered its brothers much in terms of repose, development, entertainment, and study. Our house provides not only proximity to the campus, but immersion in the culture and heritage of the university and Canada at large.
