Stanley Barracks

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Established 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 hockey's 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 Village, where they may still be viewed. The Officers' Mess building can still be found on the grounds of the Canadian National Exhibition.

The building served as the home for Canada's Sports Hall of Fame, Hockey Hall of Fame and the Marine Museum.
