About High Park
The National Inventory rates High Park Regional, one of 32 in Whitehall. High Park dates from 1810–1830. 6 other places on the record stand within 400 m.
A sprawling former convent building, built during the nineteenth century, around an earlier house of about 1820. The site was acquired by the Sisters of Our Lady of Charity of Refuge in 1856 so that they could run the nearby Mary Magdalene Asylum for women and the High Park Reformatory School for Catholic girls.

Questions about High Park
Is High Park on the National Inventory?
Yes: rated Regional (record 50130256).
Can you visit High Park?
Many historic buildings are private homes; this one can be seen from the street.
When was High Park built?
Its National Inventory record dates it to 1810–1830.
Is High Park protected?
Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
