OLD FORT, 8 DEC. 1932
City of Toronto Archives, Parks Dept. 1543

The stone lining the ramparts is not authentic; originally it was timber. But in restoring the fort in 1932-34 during the Great Depression, lining the walls with stone created more jobs. Today the stone helps keep maintenance costs down, since replacing timber linings every ten years or so would be relentless and expensive.
