The Parabolic Dufferin Gates
The Dufferin Gates are the western-most pedestrian entranceway to the CNE grounds, situated at the bottom of Dufferin Street. Named after Lord Dufferin, the original gate to the CNE grounds was named in his honour. The original gateway was erected in 1895, and was superseded by a more permanent, ornate Beaux-Arts style triumphal arch built in 1910, and officially re-opened by Lord Dufferin in 1914.
