The Residence is located next to the Duck Pond and across from the Meeting House. It was built in 1902 by prisoners of the Toronto Don Jail and has served many purposes over its colourful history, including serving as the zookeeper’s residence, a staff building, zoo hospital, and as a temporary morgue for the Necropolis Cemetery. Today, the Residence is used for a variety of farm-related and community-based programs.

The Francey Barn is located inside the main gates. Originally built in 1858 on a farm in the Markham Township, it was donated by Mrs. Garnett Francey to the City of Toronto in 1977. The Francey Barn is a rare type of architecture, known as a Pennsylvania bank barn. Bank barns are built on the side of hills or riverbanks. This has the advantage of having an upper and lower floor accessible from ground level. Animals are housed on the lower level, while the upper floor provides storage of all hay, straw and feed required for the livestock.

The Meeting House is a unique three-storey building that opened in 1993. It is located at the east side of the property across from the Duck Pond. Most of our year-round programming takes place in the Meeting House. As well, the Farm’s lost and found, first aid, public washrooms and baby changing facilities can be found on the main floor. Pottery and spinning/weaving rooms are located downstairs. Classes are offered seasonally from September to June. The Meeting House is the home base of the Farm’s summer camp programs which run throughout July and August each year.

Donnybrook Ruin stands beside the cow paddock. It was originally a two-storey building, but a tower and part of the main floor is all that remains today.
