=== Residences === [[File:Annesley Hall.JPG|thumb|[[Annesley Hall]] |300x300px]]Victoria College is well-known for its historic residence buildings and tight-knit residence community. * [[Annesley Hall]] is the oldest residence building at Victoria College, built in 1903 and renovated in 1988. It is a [[National Historic Site of Canada]] located across from the Royal Ontario Museum. Annesley Hall remains an all-female residence β the first university residence built specifically for women in Canada.<ref>{{cite web |title=Annesley Hall National Historic Site of Canada |url=http://www.historicplaces.ca/en/rep-reg/place-lieu.aspx?id=1155&pid=0 |access-date=2012-08-22 |work=Canada's Historic Places |publisher=Parks Canada |quote=Annesley Hall was designated a national historic site because it is a particularly good example of the Queen Anne Revival style, as expressed in institutional architecture. Designed by architect G. M. Miller, and built in 1902-1903, Annesley Hall was the first purpose-built women's residence on a Canadian university campus.}}</ref> * [[File:Window of Emmanuel College, Toronto (Version 1).jpg|thumb|130x130px|Window of Emmanuel College]][[Burwash Hall]] was constructed in 1913, originally known as "the men's residences". It was named after [[Nathanael Burwash]], a former president of Victoria. The building is an extravagant [[Neo-Gothic]] work with [[Turret (architecture)|turret]]s, [[gargoyle]]s, and [[battlement]]s. The building is divided between the large dining hall in the northwest and the student residence proper. The residence area is divided into two sections. The Upper Houses, built in 1913, consist of: North House, Middle House, Gate House, and South House. The Lower Houses were built in 1931 and were originally intended to house theology students at Emmanuel College, whose main building was opened the same year. First House, Nelles House, Caven House, Bowles-Gandier House are now mostly home to undergraduate Arts and Science students. Before the 1995 renovations, the entire building was male, but co-ed living was slowly introduced with Gate House being the last to convert in 2007.<ref>Taylor, Bill (2007-12-19).

It converted to co-ed in the 1990s and features seven floors with communal washrooms. * Rowell Jackman Hall is the newest of the residence buildings, constructed in 1993. It features an apartment-style residence with each room divided into four suites with a common area. Rowell Jackman Hall is named after Mary Rowell Jackman, whose son [[Hal Jackman]] made a substantial donation to the project. It stands just east of [[Burwash Hall]] on Charles St. and is west of [[University of St. Michael's College|St. Michael's College's]] Loretto College. Before Rowell Jackman Hall was built, the site was home to a parking lot and the historic Stephenson House. * [[Stephenson House (University of Toronto)|Stephenson House]] was a community involvement residence at Victoria University from 1939β2010, but has since become defunct. The House hosted ten undergraduate students per year, self-governed and self-regulating with a separate application and selection process. It last functioned as a residence in the 2009β2010 academic year.
