Started in 1840 and Located in Toronto, Ontario, New Fort York was renamed the Stanley Barracks[1] in 1893 after the Governor General of Canada at that time, Lord Stanley of Preston (of Stanley Cup fame). The Stanley Barracks were mostly demolished in 1953. The gates to the barracks were salvaged, however, and were re-erected in Toronto on Kingston Rd. at Guildwood Parkway, at the entrance to Guildwood, where they may still be viewed. The Officers Mess building can also be found on the grounds of the Canadian National Exhibition.
