Toronto's First Post Office, Toronto, Ontario Canada
This happens to be Toronto's Very First Post Office which has served as a post office up until 1839.
Furthermore, James Howard Scott served as the first Postmaster for the new Town of Toronto. Some sources, such as John Ross Robertson, say that this building, although built in 1832, was not used as a post office until 1836.
During my visit, I had Katie give ME a Tour and showed ME around.
I want to personally Thank Katie for the Excellent Tour that she provided to ME as well as helping ME make my Youtube Video.

First Toronto Post Office, Toronto, Ontario
First Toronto Post Office, Toronto, Ontario
Toronto’s First Post Office is operated by the Town of York Historical Society. The Society was born of the interest generated by the restoration of an historical block of buildings at Adelaide and George Streets, in downtown Toronto. These included the Bank of Upper Canada (1827), the De La Salle Building (1871), and Toronto’s First Post Office (1833). Many experts – architects, historians and curators – volunteered assistance during the restoration project. From this core group, the Town of York Historical Society was formed in February of 1983.
The Society now operates Toronto’s First Post Office as a museum, a National Historic Site and a post office.
Toronto’s First Post Office is an authorized full-service dealer for Canada Post. All current definitive and commemorative stamps are available. We also offer special philatelic services, including a pictorial cancel, a reproduction of Toronto’s first cancel (in red ink, as exclusively used by Toronto’s first Postmaster James Scott Howard), and US postage for return mail.

Toronto, Distillery District and St. James Cathedral - Canada HD Travel Channel
The Distillery District with its 44 halls, in the southeast of Toronto was once the largest whiskey distillery in the British Empire. The company Gooderham and Worts built the premises in 1832 and produced already in the 1860s up to 2 million US gallons (7,600,000 L) of whiskey per year for the world market.
Today it serves as backdrop for movies such as Chicago and X-Men which were produced here. Toronto is the third-largest film and television production facility in North America. A part of the area was transformed into a entertainment district with selected restaurants and art galleries. 1988, the Distillery District was declared as National Historic Site of Canada.
The Anglican St. James Cathedral with Canada's highest steeple originally dates back to the end of the 18th Century. After 56 years the cathedral burned down and was rebuild in Neo-Gothic style. The impressive stained glass windows of the artist Stuart Reid were unveiled by Queen Elizabeth II in 1997.
The well-kept surrounding park invites visitors to linger.
Right near one can visit Toronto's first post office. Today it is a museum.

Die Distillery im Südosten von Toronto war einst mit seinen 44 Hallen die größte Whiskey Destillerie des britischen Empire. Das Unternehmen Gooderham and Worts bebaute das Gelände 1832 und produzierte bereits in den 1860er Jahren bis zu zwei Millionen US Gallonen Whiskey pro Jahr für den Weltmarkt.
Heute dient der Distillery District als Kulisse für Filme wie Chicago oder X-Men, die hier produziert wurden. Toronto ist die drittgrößte Film und Fernsehproduktionsstätte Nord Amerikas. Ein Teil des Areals wurde zu einem Vergnügungsviertel mit ausgewählten Restaurants und Kunstgalerien umgestaltet. 1988 wurde der Distillery District in die Liste der National Historic Sites von Kanada aufgenommen.
Die anglikanische St. James Cathedral mit Kanadas höchstem Kirchturm stammt ursprünglich von Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts, brannte nach 56 Jahren ab und wurde in neugotischem Stil wieder aufgebaut. Die ausdrucksvollen Buntglasfenster stammen von Stuart Reid und wurden von Queen Elizabeth II 1997 eingeweiht.
Der gepflegte umgebende Park lädt zu einer Rast ein.
Gleich in der Nähe kann das erste Postamt Torontos besichtigt werden. Heute ist es ein Museum.

Long Branch Park 1884 Toronto
Before Long Branch became a village, it was the home to Loyalist Col. Sam Smith, who was one of the earliest settlers in Etobicoke. His cabin was located near Etobicoke Creek and survived into the 1950s.[4] Col. Smith was granted a large tract of land for his service in the Queen's Rifles in 1797, which eventually extended from what is now Kipling Avenue to the original course of the Etobicoke River (now Creek), and south of Bloor Street to Lake Ontario after Col. Smith acquired additional parcels of land. The southern portion of this tract would include all of Long Branch and the westernmost portion of New Toronto, south of the railway line.
Original cottage on the waterfront in Long Branch
The property was bought by James Eastwood from Col. Sam Smith's son, Samuel Bois Smith, in 1871. In 1883 Eastwood sold a portion of his land south of Lake Shore Road (now, Boulevard West) to a small group of financiers from Toronto. It was to be developed as a summer resort called 'Sea Breeze Park', and a plan of subdivision was filed in 1884. In 1886, the site was acquired by Thomas Wilkie and his brother and it was renamed 'Long Branch Park', after the seaside summer resort area of Long Branch, New Jersey where Thomas had vacationed. The central north–south street was originally named 'Sea Breeze Avenue', but was renamed as 'Long Branch Avenue'.[5]
In 1887, the 'Long Branch Hotel' was built, set back from the waterfront near Beach Road (now Lake Promenade) and Long Branch Avenue. It survived until 1958, when it was destroyed by fire.[5] In 1891, the Long Branch post office was opened to serve the Long Branch Park summer resort. Beginning in 1910, other lots south of Lake Shore Road around Long Branch Park began to be subdivided. In the 1920s, the land surrounding the mouth of Etobicoke Creek, known as the Etobicoke Flats, was sub-divided for cottages and housing.
In 1895, the Toronto & Mimico Electric Railway and Light Company radial railway's single-track service was completed along Lake Shore Road from New Toronto through Long Branch to the current location of Long Branch Loop.[6] In 1927, this line was amalgamated by the Toronto Transportation Commission (TTC) and double-tracked in 1928.
In 1915, the Long Branch Aerodrome was established to the west of the village in Toronto Township, today's Mississauga. The aerodrome was Canada's first and was operated by the Curtiss Flying School until 1917.
The Village of Long Branch was incorporated in 1930, after the other lake shore municipalities of Mimico (1917) and New Toronto (1920) were incorporated as towns. After the incorporation, some of its streets were given new names. In 1931, north–south street names were standardized by continuing the ordinal numbers of New Toronto's streets, picking-up at Twenty-Third Street in the east through to Forty-Third Street in the west. For example; Lansdowne Avenue became Thirty-Third Street and Lake View Avenue became Thirty-Fifth Street. Long Branch Avenue has remained the same (it could have been Thirty-Fourth St.).[7] Thirty-Seventh St. was formerly called Robert Street, after Robert Eastwood. Today, a drugstore is located at the corner of Thirty-Seventh St. and Lake Shore Blvd. West on the site of the former Eastwood Park Hotel, which Robert Eastwood opened in 1910. Today, other local streets such as James Street still bear names of members of the Eastwood family. Twenty-third Street was called Government Road even after the 1931 incorporation.
Official Opening of the Streetcar on Lake Shore, 1928
A cenotaph was raised on Long Branch Avenue south of Lake Shore in 1933 to commemorate the village's contributions during the First (and later, Second) World War.[8] During the Second World War, many industries were opened between Lake Shore Road and the railway to the north as part of the Commonwealth war effort. The Small Arms Limited Long Branch Arsenal munitions factory was established during World War II to the west of the village, just north of the Aerodrome's location.
