Queen's Wharf Lighthouse, Toronto Canada

Who would think that this structure is a lighthouse? 

Queen's Wharf Lighthouse is also known as the Fleet Street lighthouse, named after its location. This octagonal, three-storey wood structure was originally part of a pair of lighthouses built in 1861 at Queen's Wharf.

This lighthouse along with another smaller lighthouse marked the entrance to Toronto harbour in 1861.  It was deactivated in 1912.  The other lighthouse was demolished but this lighthouse was relocated to its current location in 1929.

It is owned by the City Toronto and is listed in Toronto Heritage Register. 

This piece of history sits in the middle of Toronto City.  Not many people know that this small structure is a lighthouse, and maybe most people don't even notice it when they pass by. It could be mistaken as a railroad ticket office.  

Thanks to my long layover in Toronto.  I was able to explore another unique lighthouse, and I met a nice guy who drove me here, and is a fan of Filipino people. 

I wasn't feeling well this day and the past few days, but I was determined to explore this lighthouse.  I intentionally brought my maple leaf scarf I bought in Canada few years ago, to compliment my first ligthouse seen in Canada.
