A City of Toronto historic site, this rare Regency picturesque cottage is a graceful monument to John and Jemima Howard, the couple who founded High Park. John Howard, one of Toronto's first architects, as well as a City engineer and surveyor, built Colborne Lodge in 1837. The museum features many original furnishings and artifacts and some of John Howard's own watercolours depicting images of early Toronto. A guided tour is included in the admission price.
The monument is dedicated to Sir Casimir Gzowski, a Polish-born engineer who produced a number of engineering works in Canada. Inside the monument, there are plaques about his life and engineering accomplishments. Because he was considered a railway builder, there are a short section of railway track at each of the three portals of the monument.
