Finch Hotel opened in 1848 by John Finch on Lot # 2, Concession # 1 (200 acres (81 ha)), Toronto owned by Thomas Johnson since the late 1790s.

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 hotel was sold to Charles McBride, who demolished the hotel and took timbers to rebuild at another site on Yonge Street. 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.
