Montgomery's Inn in Etobicoke.
Montgomery's Inn is built in 1830s. It was built by Irish immigrants Thomas and Margret Montgomery. The Inn was like a motel for travelers and their horses to stay. The Inn was named after it's innkeeper.

It was constructed of sedimentary stone, usually found at the bottom of rivers and lakes, from the Humber and Islington River Valleys.

The inn was built as a Georgian architectural style. It’s north façade facing Dundas Street has eight large windows and two doorways. The Inn contains a larger kitchen, dining parlour and sleeping space for overnight guests, and living space for the Montgomery family. The drive shed attached to the south wing contained shelter for carriages and stables for horses. These facilities are mandatory in Upper Canada to obtain an innkeeper’s license.

In 1856, it was made into a private farm house, which was rented by tenant farmers by the Montgomery family until 1946. The Inn was later on owned by a church, a developer, the Etobicoke Historical Society, and the Etobicoke Historical Board, until it was moved to the City of Toronto. Now it has been 170 years and the Inn has become a museum, which is great chance to learn about the 19th-century Canadian Inn.
