History & housing stock
Architectural era · Preserved 19th-century limestone commercial + surrounding Victorian residential
Downtown Guelph was founded in 1827 by John Galt (the same John Galt who founded Galt/Cambridge) as a planned town — one of Canada's earliest examples of intentional urban planning. The downtown features one of Ontario's best-preserved 19th-century limestone commercial main streets, and is anchored by the historic Church of Our Lady Immaculate. The Guelph downtown revival through the 2010s has been notable.
