Summary

Description
English: “After the War of 1812, Fort York was rebuilt to provide quarters for 950 men within a defensive wall. Today’s Old Fort York reconstructs the fort of this period.

Note the defensive position of the fort, which was located on a bluff above the lakeshore and protected by Garrison Creek ravine. Later fill has extended the shore and changed the surrounding topography.

The crater at the lakeshore caused by the explosion of the powder magazine in 1813 is marked by 'D'. ”
