The fair is one of the largest and most successful of its kind in North America and an important part of the culture of Toronto.The buildings on the site date from the 1700s to recent years. Five buildings on the site (the Fire Hall/Police Station, Government Building, Horticulture Building, Music Building and Press Building), were designated a National Historic Site of Canada in 1988.
