Lighthouse, Mimico Cruising Club, Toronto

            Now standing in Humber Bay Park in Etobicoke, this lighthouse was originally located at the East Entrance of the Toronto Harbour. Lighthouses were constrcuted here in the mid 1800s when storms blew a gap through the pennisula, forming the East Gap. This also rendered the pennisula into the Toronto Islands. 

Built in 1906, the lighthouse is a 22-foot high, wooden, square, pyramdial tower. A wooden building was built for the alarm engineer of the lighthouse in 1909.

In 1973, the East Gap of the Toronto harbour was being widened and this lighthouse, along with another on the East side, were placed in storage. Originally, they were planned to be moved to an aquatic park on Leslie Street Spit for display, but plans fell through.

The abandoned lighthouses were spotted in storage and brought to Etobicoke by barge in 1981. This lighthouse was placed at the Mimco Cruising Club at the west side of Humber Bay Park.
