The Rosedale Creek Sewer is perhaps Toronto's second large-scale combined trunk sewer, built as it was in 1888 just a few years after construction of the Garrison Creek Sewer. It served to sewer the waterway that the city called "Rosedale Creek" but which is more commonly known as Castle Frank Brook, removing the nuisance of another polluted waterway (see also) from Yorkville, Rosedale, and the neighbourhood around the future Casa Loma.
