Those pillars are the "Theatre" on the grounds of the Guild Inn, in Scarborough. If you're into the achitectural history of this city, it's a must see.

From: http://www.toronto.ca/culture/the_guild.htm

Quote:
The extensive private gardens surrounding the buildings became the site of a personal building conservation program by Rosa and Spencer Clark, whereby fragments from demolished buildings in and around Toronto were rescued by their efforts and re-erected to create a sculpture garden. Passing into the public domain in 1978, the grounds became a public park and the art and sculpture on display in the gardens became a unique attraction to this lovely setting atop the Scarborough Bluffs.
In other words, those pillars used to be on facade downtown.
