History of The Power House
The Power House, constructed in 1936, was built by the patients of the Mimico Lunatic Asylium. The steam heat ran through the
underground tunnels and pipes located throughout the site. The coal
was trucked in and stored in a 20ft X 10ft (6m X 3m) coal bunker on
the South East corner of the building. The chimney stands 100 Ft
high and is significant because the height determined the rate of
combustion needed to heat the hospital. The chimney top is 4ft.
in diameter. The Power House ceased operation in 1979 when the
hospital closed. The Power House and surrounding buildings are
listed as Toronto's most haunted.
