Kivas Tully, Chief Architect, Ontario Department of Public Works, 1894

One of two surviving buildings of the original Ontario Institution for the Education of the Deaf and Dumb founded 1870.

ACO Quinte Past-President David Bentley, and Donna Fano, former teacher at the school and now its historian, nominated the hospital to the National Trust for Canada’s Top 10 Most Endangered Places, 2016. “Though the exterior of the municipally listed building appears to be in good condition, this important piece of Deaf history may be paved over for parking spaces.”
