The Old Don Jail

What travelers say:

Toronto once had a provincial prison, Don Jail, located across Chinatown on the East Side. Don Jail had performed his duties long before the founding of Canada. The prison closed in 1977 due to overcrowding and outdated facilities. The old building was reopened and designed as a hospital: Bridgepoint Active Health care. 🍎 Open visit: the public denounces it as a "prisoner's palace". The interior is sombre and scary, and there is no one in the world. It attracted Hollywood to film here, including: ↙️ "Chicago" (Chicago), 2002. Received six Oscars. Starring: Katherine Zeta Jones, Richard Kill, Renee Zievig. ↙️ Cocktail: 1988, starring Tom Cruise. 🍐 Address: 550 Gerrard St E, Toronto. ↙️ Surrounded by East Chinatown: the oldest existing Chinatown in Toronto. ↙️ Across the road, the only Chinese stone archway in North America. There is a male lion downstairs. ↙️ behind Riverdale Park, there is a bronze statue of Sun Yat-sen on the grass. 🍇 The name comes from: Toronto's mother River Don River, which is translated as "Tang River". Don Jail is named here. #Run ah Waves #My Travel Skills #My Running Endless #Locals Take You Tour #Small Discovery
