De La Salle Institute - 1871 - 258 Adelaide St. East - Heritage Building

            The Brothers opened their own secondary school in 1863 on Jarvis Street, originally called 'Christian Brothers Commercial Academy'. In 1871, the school constructed a new building on Duke Street (258 Adelaide St. East today) and the name was changed to 'De La Salle Institute'. The institute purchased the former post office next door in 1874 (First Toronto Post Office). Twenty years later, the school was extended to include secondary education and took over the former Bank of Upper Canada building next door. The name De La Salle Institute was changed to De La Salle College in 1880 when university entrance courses were added to the commercial curriculum. The three building site still stands at the corner of Adelaide and George Streets as 252–264 Adelaide Street East.
