John Finch's Hotel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Finch Hotel opened in 1848 by John Finch on Lot # 2, Concession # 1 (200 acres) , Toronto owned by Thomas Johnson since the late 1790s. Finch Hotel was operated by a series of innkeepers:

  • Thomas Palmer 1848-1860
  • John Likens 1860-1864
  • John Fenley 1869-1871
  • William Kirk 1871-1873

The hotel was sold to Charles McBride, whom demolished the hotel and took timbers to rebuild at another site on Yonge Street.

The site is now a parkette and condos on 1 and 3 Pemberton Avenue.
