Description
While many Torontonians still believe their city is the centre of the universe, there was a time when York was, in fact, the capital of Upper Canada. Fort York was captured by the Americans in the War of 1812 and it is now fighting to find relevance as an historic landmark Toronto is a city full of buildings to which it owes its thanks for the stories they've given. Whether it's the stately Royal York Hotel or the awe-inspiring CN Tower that reigns over the skyline, Toronto and its millions of people owe a great deal to the structures that help define its character. But no buildings are in need of more thanks than those that comprise Fort York. The original seven structures (built between 1813 and 1815) are the oldest in the city and are in desperate need of attention.
