This paper explores the ways in which outdated perspectives surrounding historical properties, particularly those from the Victorian and Edwardian eras, shape quite negatively their preservation and conservation for the future. An examination of Spadina House in Toronto, Ontario provides a compelling case for the importance of viewing historical properties as theoretical archives in their own rights, and thus deserving of proper care under the mandate of the Ontario Heritage Act.
