Osgoode Hall Fence and Gate
The plaque, apparently located here on Osgoode Hall's fence, appears to be missing. According to Heritage Toronto, it's a 1980 Toronto Historical Board plaque and the text of the plaque says:
The Osgoode Hall Fence and Gates were erected by the Law Society of Upper Canada in the mid-1860s. They were manufactured by the St. Lawrence Foundry of William Hamilton and Son, Toronto, using moulds from the Blochairn Foundry, Glasgow, Scotland. The beautifully designed "cow-gates" were constructed to keep out wandering cattle. For this reason, the fixed openings in the gates were made only 50 cm wide. An extensive restoration was completed in 1979 by the Law Society of Upper Canada.
