Toronto Hunt Club

In 1895, it acquired its first permanent home in a rural area east of the city in Scarborough, between Kingston Road and Lake Ontario.

[1] In 1898, the Scarborough radial line was extended eastward to the site, and soon the area became a cottage district and then a streetcar suburb of Toronto.

In 1939, with the outbreak of the Second World War, the large site was purchased by the Government of Canada and turned into a secret Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) research facility, the No.

[4] After the war, the site became the RCAF Staff School, and it remained an officer training facility of the Canadian Forces until it closed in 1994.

[6] The Scarborough property remains an exclusive private golf club today, and its street address is 1355 Kingston Road.
