context_section_description: Toronto was listed on the Queensland Heritage Register on 21 October 1992 having satisfied the following criteria.
  The place is important in demonstrating the evolution or pattern of Queensland's history.
  Constructed in c.1863, Toronto, formerly called Devonshire Cottage, was built during a period of great prosperity in Ipswich when the town was considered a leading commercial centre, strongly contesting Brisbane as Queensland's premier city. The size, quality and favourable location of the house overlooking the city is indicative of the influx of wealthy settlers that moved into the area during the early 1860s in direct response to the town's prosperity.
  The place demonstrates rare, uncommon or endangered aspects of Queensland's cultural heritage.
  The house is an early, intact and rare surviving example of the Carpenter Gothic style of architecture, a typically used for domestic applications, particularly in the Ipswich region but also throughout Queensland.

  The place is important because of its aesthetic significance.
  The unusual style of the two storey, timber house gives the building considerable aesthetic significance with its prominent gables, decorative scalloped bargeboards, traceried timber verandah and intimate scale. The building offers an important contribution to the Quarry Street streetscape, which is of interest for the variety and quality of nineteenth century housing close to the Ipswich city centre.
