Information

Finch Hotel was operated by a series of innkeepers:
The hotel was sold to Charles McBride, who demolished the hotel and took timbers to build the Bedford Park Hotel 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.
