Description

Fort York's Gibraltar Point Blockhouse.

  • Original caption: "
    This 30 x 35 ft building consisted of a first-floor barrack for 30 people and an open second-floor gun platform. The chimney structure seems to indicate that it could produce hot shot. The gun was located on a traversing platform to maximize its field of fire. The walls exposed to naval bombardment were constructed with a double layer of logs filled with tightly-packed earth or rubble.

    1995 drawing by Kevin Hebib based on 'Blockhouse - Gibraltar Point,' 1813 National Archives of Canada, NMC-5431; and 'No 37. Plan of the blockhouses at Gibraltar Point' 1823 Toronto Historical Board copy of NAC plan
