John Finch's Hotel
Finch Hotel was an inn located in current-day Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was opened in 1848 by John Finch on Lot # 2, Concession # 1, with a land size of 200 acres (81 ha). Before Finch's takeover, the inn was owned by Thomas Johnson from the late 1790s.
Finch Avenue, a main arterial road in Toronto and the surrounding Peel Region and Durham Region, was named after John Finch.
Information
Finch Hotel was operated by a series of innkeepers:
- Thomas Palmer 1848-1860
- John Likens 1860-1864
- John Fenley 1869-1871
- William Kirk 1871-1873
The inn was sold to Charles McBride, who demolished the building and took timbers to build the Bedford Park Hotel at another site on Yonge Street.[1] The site is now a parkette and condos on 1 and 3 Pemberton Avenue. To the west of the hotel was Stop 35 of the North Yonge Railways, a radial railway that ran from Toronto to Lake Simcoe.[citation needed]
