It was built to replace Toronto's original Fort York at the mouth of Garrison Creek as the primary military base for the settlement. Unlike the older fort, it was made with limestone, instead of wood, and it did not have a wall as protection, which was planned but never built. One building remains, the officer's mess remains standing today. HistoryThe site was once the fortification known as Western Battery where two obsolete 18-pounder guns used to provide protect to Fort York to the east. These guns pre-dated the War of 1812. A series of six stone buildings were constructed in what is now Exhibition Place around 1840 by the Royal Engineers of the British Army with the biggest building being the Officers' Quarters. The two storey Queenston limestone structure cost 19,000 pounds and housed troops following the 1837 Rebellion. Other features of the fort included five smaller buildings for troops and storage, parading grounds, and a stockade. In 1870, the British Army withdrew from the Fort, with the property turned over to the Canadian Militia. During this period, the North-West Mounted Police also used the facility for training in the 1870s. Regiments from the British Army and the Canadian militia that were garrisoned at fort include: {{col div}}
New Fort York was renamed to Stanley Barracks in 1893 after the Governor General of Canada at that time, Lord Stanley of Preston (of hockey's Stanley Cup fame). During World War I, the barracks housed German, Austro-Hungarian, and Turkish citizens, who were interned there as enemy aliens. The barracks were last used during World War II when the Canadian troops were stationed there prior to being sent overseas. All the fort's buildings and other exhibition building housed the troops. Recent history (1950–present)After the war, most of the buildings became vacant. The Stanley Barracks were mostly demolished in 1953. The gates to the barracks (gate doors forged in England in 1839) were salvaged in 1957, however, and were re-erected in Toronto on Kingston Road at Guildwood Parkway, at the entrance to Guildwood Village, by the owners of the Guild Inn. where they may still be viewed.[1] Lights replaced the stone globes on the top of the gate posts. The Officers' Mess building can still be found on Exhibition Place, but it is now vacant. The building served as the home for Canada's Sports Hall of Fame, Hockey Hall of Fame and the Toronto Maritime Museum. Today only one of the original buildings survives. The Officers' Quarters, generally called the 'Stanley Barracks', became home to the city–owned Toronto Maritime Museum from 1958 to 1998 before it moved to Harbourfront. The museum has since closed and Stanley Barracks is vacant once again. The Barracks was open one weekend in May 2006 during Doors Open Toronto. The grounds of the fort were the former home to another a piece of Toronto history; the tugboat Ned Hanlan was on display on the west side of the building, but was not open to the public. In June 2012, the boat was moved to a new home on Hanlan's Point on the Toronto Islands.[2] Canadian National locomotive No. 6213 was located on the east side from 1960 until 2009. In 2009, it was moved to Roundhouse Park to become the centrepiece of the Toronto Railway Historical Association's railway museum.[3] The U-2 class Northern-type locomotive, built by Montreal Locomotive Works in 1942, was retired from service in 1959 and given to the City of Toronto in 1960.[4]The Ontario Heritage Foundation erected a plaque in 1963 near the former Officers' Quarters at Exhibition Place, Lake Shore Boulevard East, Toronto, Ontario.[5] Foundations of some of the buildings still survive. A hotel planned adjacent to the site will expose some of the foundations as part of the project.[6] Also, the existing building, Officers Quarter, will be the centrepiece of a new park at Exhibition Place, which will include a water feature indicating the former shores of Lake Ontario.[7] See also
