Instagram: / theinsidertoronto Facebook: / insidertoronto - - What looks like a castle in the middle of Toronto is actually a power station. In this video, we explore the Glengrove Substation, one of Toronto's most fascinating hidden buildings. Built in 1931, this Gothic-style structure was designed to blend into the surrounding neighbourhood while quietly helping power the city. But it's not alone. Across Toronto, there are fake houses, disguised buildings, and hidden pieces of infrastructure hiding in plain sight. From castle-like substations to ordinary homes concealing electrical equipment, we'll uncover the surprising history behind the city's most deceptive buildings. If you've ever walked past one of these structures and wondered what it was, this video is for you. What other hidden places in Toronto should we explore next?
