Facts and practical information

The Queen's Wharf Lighthouse is a lighthouse in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is situated at Fleet Street just east of the Princes' Gates at Exhibition Place. The octagonal building was originally part of a pair of lighthouses built in 1861 at Queen's Wharf, replacing an earlier 16-foot lighthouse built in 1838. The 11-metre three-storey wood structure is one of two surviving 19th-century lighthouses in Toronto. ()
