Point Frederick Buildings

Point Frederick Buildings stand on a peninsula that served as the headquarters of the Provincial Marine from about 1790 to 1813 and of the Royal Navy from 1813 to 1853, making it the major British naval base on Lake Ontario during the War of 1812. Surviving buildings from this period include the Naval Hospital, the Guard House complex, and the Stone Frigate. On the southern part of the peninsula stands Fort Frederick, erected in 1812-13 and completely rebuilt in 1846. In 1875 the Point was chosen as the site of the Royal Military College of Canada, which admitted its first class in June 1876.
