Baldwin Steps

The Baldwin Steps are a historic outdoor staircase in Toronto that dates back to the 19th century and climbs a steep bluff along an ancient shoreline. Built of stone and concrete, they connect two sections of Spadina Road, since a direct route through the steep rock face was impossible. Named for the Baldwin family, the original landowners, the steps were restored in 1987 with new railings and widened landings. Here you experience not only the 110-step climb but also the proximity to notable residences such as Casa Loma. The steps have also gained international fame through the Scott Pilgrim comic series and the film Scott Pilgrim vs. the World.
