This is one of the type of sign you will find around the province giving information about various historic sites. This one is found beside the Enoch Turner Schoolhouse in the Corktown neighbourhood and it was the school which was depicted in the Underpass Art Three of a week ago (click HERE). I will show you the school tomorrow.

That's a very pristine sign with lots of interesting info!
That sign is very much like the historical markers we find here.
I've seen signs like that here as well. We do tend to get more federal signs as opposed to provincial ones marking places of merit.
oh, cool. love the 'first free school.'
Thank goodness for Mr. Turner caring enough to share his wealth for the children and a free school! Bravo!
What a great thing to commemorate!

Apparently there are 831 historical plaques in the City Of Toronto. Checkout the link. Toronto's Historical Plaques
Fortunately in England, at any rate, education produces no effect whatsoever. If it did, it would prove a serious danger to the upper classes, and probably lead to acts of violence in Grosvenor Square.
I always appreciate these kinds of informative signs.
It has an impressive history.
They are great to find and this one is in very nice condition. Tom The Backroads Traveller
Education is so important! This is wonderful!
I like seeing these blue signs. Had no idea there were 813 of them, though!
oops, 831, actually!!
Much more easily read than our historic markers. Something to do with the color of the background, I think.
It's great that they give some info about historic sites, very interesting. More and more here you find signs where you can scan them with your phone and get to a website with lots of info, pictures, videos etc on your phone.
your country is very young comparing to mine
I love it when concerned citizens are able to save something from destruction. It mus infuriate developers, though.
That is so cool and such a great asset to residents and tourists alike! What an interesting history!
I like signs like this, very informative and educational.

Nice history. I always love reading these historic signs.
Nice sign the gold on blue background.
The blue and gold look very nice together! We also have historic markers very similar to this here in Florida.
Nice sign.
A grand and impressive sign. Easy to read. And I like the white font on blue background.
I like this sort of information sign.
Good signage !!
I appreciate these signs next to historical sites so you really know what you are seeing!
