- In the 19th century small tollkeeper's cottages were built to house who collected tolls on the roads that lead into the city later known as Toronto, Ontario.Private companies were licensed to maintain the province's roads, and they were allowed to levy tolls from those traveling on the road to pay for that maintenance. Tollkeepers were provided with cottages for remote work. The first tollkeeper's cottage was built in 1820, at the corner of Yonge and King streets, when that intersection was on the outskirts of York, Upper Canada. The tollkeeper system was retired in 1896. (en)
