Montgomery’s Inn 4709 Dundas Street West
Etobicoke, Ontario M9A 1A8
Montgomery's Inn, constructed in 1830, is considered to be one of the finest examples of Loyalist or late Georgian architecture in Ontario.
The main front door, surrounded by sidelights
and overhead fanlight, is typical of this style.
Originally the rubble stone exterior of the inn
was covered with pebble dashed stucco, with details pointed to resemble proper cut stone, which added to the formal Georgian appearance.
In 1967 the stucco was removed.
The building's original owner, Irish immigrant
Thomas Montgomery operated a successful hotel and tavern here until 1855.
Since then, the Inn has had a checkered existence,
serving as a residence for tenant farmers and a church and community hall.
In 1962, a developer purchased the Inn and sold it
to the Etobicoke Historical Society.
The Inn opened as a museum in 1975.
The interior of the Inn is restored to the period 1847-1850.
