Looking north towards the Dufferin Gate near the foot of Dufferin St at Exhibition Place in Toronto.
Completed for the opening of the 1959 CNE, architect Philip R. Brook designed the Mid-Century Modern style parabolic archway. The Dufferin Gate stands 20 m or 65 ft tall and cost over $250,000 to build. The structure received heritage status from the city in 1993.
