The Toronto Magnetic and Meteorological Observatory was built on the University of Toronto campus in 1840. It helped prove that sunspots affect Earth's magnetic field, served as the city's official timekeeper, and now stands near Hart House as a historic campus building. #toronto #torontohistory #History #Science #architecture
