Mr. Salmon captured some last photos of the 1841 "New Fort", CNE grounds, just prior to the demolition of most of it.
From the CNE Archives (http://www.cnearchives.com/v03.htm)
Built in 1841, Stanley Barracks was to replace Fort York as the Toronto garrison. Stanley Barracks originally consisted of six main buildings around a parade square. Between 1951 and 1953, five of the buildings were demolished, leaving only the Officers' Quarters. The Officers' Quarters housed the Marine Museum from 1959 until 1998.
