Fearful of war with the United States, Simcoe planned to establish a naval base at Toronto so he could control Lake Ontario. Simcoe also moved the capital to Toronto from the exposed border town of Niagara. Civilian settlement followed and a community, named York, began to grow two km. east of the fort. In 1834, York was renamed Toronto. The original log buildings deteriorated quickly and a new barracks was built east of the present site in the late 1790s. It was these buildings that were destroyed during the war of 1812. Fort York was rebuilt between 1813 and 1816 and most of the buildings date from that time. Fort York opened as a museum in 1934 and today the fortified walls surround Canada's largest collection of original War of 1812 buildings.","Visitor Experience":"Visitors will experience special tours dealing with military architecture, tours of the barracks and fortifications, and a wide range of exhibits telling the story of Fort York's and Canada's military past.

The museum, opened in 1927, contains the Howards' original furnishings and has many scenic watercolours of early Toronto painted by Mr. Howard. One of the city's first architects, a land surveyor, and city engineer for the City of Toronto, Howard was a lover of all things new and innovative.

These Gothic and Romanesque-style architecture buildings were built and maintained largely with the labour of psychiatric patients. The 60 ac. hospital was initially comprised of 10 residential cottages and several additional buildings that were connected by a maze of underground passages. As psychiatric healthcare evolved, the Mimico Branch Asylum administered and experimented with various therapeutic treatments. Due to a broader mission to decentralize psychiatric care in Ontario, the asylum was closed in 1979. Seeing the hidden potential, Humber College leased the site and transformed it into an educational institution which hosts a present enrolment of over 9,000 students.

In 1993, the Ontario Historical Society entered into a partnership with the former City of North York to preserve and restore the building, which serves as the provincial headquarters of the Ontario Historical Society. ","Visitor Experience":"Visitors can hear about the history of the house, which was slated for demolition in the early 1990s, and ultimately saved and restored by the Ontario Historical Society with support from the local community. They will also hear some history of the role the John McKenzie House has played in the history of the Willowdale neighbourhood. Additionally, visitors will be able to experience the adjacent buildings, including an exhibit by a local artist in the historic Coach House, the Parkview Neighbourhood Gardens, and the Stable and Milkhouse. As the headquarters of the Ontario Historical Society, the John McKenzie House will also offer insight into how a not-for-profit heritage organization is working across Ontario to help protect and preserve our natural built heritage.

Today's Front St. façade includes the centre portion of the former City Hall with contrasting red brick and white stone in the Georgian style. In 1899, when Old City Hall at Queen and Bay opened, the wings of the original City Hall were demolished and the large barn-style building of today enclosed the former council chamber.
