Need Some Canadian Help!
I recently lost two of my aunts in the Toronto area. When I went up there for the interment, I came home with several boxes of keepsakes. In one of them was this plastic (? - it's pretty dense) model that looks to be a government or university building. There are no markings on it whatsoever, so I'm hoping someone out there can help me identify it.

I've never been to Toronto but I'll share some thoughts.
Looks like it might be late 19th/early 20th century. It might be a composite since institutional buildings normally don't have shutters and the window placements are very odd!
Then on the other hand, the roof detail and the exterior stairs are too specific! The first pic reminds me of tenement housing. The second pic makes no architectural sense!

"No architectural sense" may be why I think it's a government building.

I've asked about 20 of us Canadians, none of us recognize it.
I grew in Montreal too so it's probably not from there either.

 Downton Abbey-ish?  Gingerbread house minus the gingerbread?

I'm sorry for your loss, Ray.
I'm in BC, so don't recognize the actual building, but it looks like many old-time schools I've seen here.
