History
The "House of Refuge" was built on the site in 1860 as a home for "vagrants, the dissolute, and for idiots". The facility became the "Riverdale Isolation Hospital" in 1875 during a smallpox epidemic. Part of the former Don Jail was demolished in 2014 as part of the Bridgepoint Redevelopment project. The Community Master Plan was approved by the City of Toronto in 2006. and the facility has been fully operational since April 2013. The 10-storey hospital building is adjacent to the former Don Jail building (completed in 1864), which now serves as the administrative wing of the hospital. The new building officially opened on June 25, 2013. ==Gallery==
