1846 Gray: Toronto, C.W. Sketch shewing the Harbour and Ordnance Property, with the Encroachments... [NF]

This plan is in three parts: the 'Old' Fort, the New Fort, and where there had been encroachments on the Reserve. Click the map to view a full-size version of the New Fort detail (Note: the thumbnail shows the entire plan).

With the opening of the New Fort in 1842, the old military hospital that existed up the Garrison Creek ravine was closed in favour of a facility within the New Fort much larger than was needed to serve its population.
