The core of the present Guild Inn is 33-bedroom pseudo-Georgian villa, built in 1914 by General Harold Bickford. The property was purchased in 1932 by Rosa Hewetson, heiress to the Hewetson Shoes Company, shortly before her marriage to Herbert Spencer Clark who became president of Hewetson Shoes and Guildwood Developments. The Guild became their home and private museum
In 1978, Spencer Clark sold the Guild property and buildings to the Province of Ontario. Ownership was transferred to the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto in 1993 and today the grounds are controlled by Metro Toronto Parks and Culture.
As a city park, The Guild is open to all residents of Metro Toronto during daylight hours, seven days per week. It hosts many tours and special events, including a well-attended annual art show. The walks and trails are popular with joggers, birds and birdwatchers haunt the woodlands, and the rose garden with its fresh lake breeze provides a happy escape from the bustle and noise of the modern city of Scarborough around it.

Nestled high on the Scarborough Bluffs in Ontario Canada is the historic Guild Inn. Surrounded by lush forest, beautiful statues, objects d' art, and a panoramic view of L. Ontario, the Guild was a favourite spot for weddings and other joyous occasions. Movies and t.v programs such as the Skulls, and Relic Hunter have been filmed there. Famous guests include Canadian PM Lester B. Pearson, Burt Reynolds, Kathleen Turner, Christopher Reeve, Sir Lawrence Olivier, Lorne Greene, Kevin Sorbo and many others. Guests enjoyed the tranquil and romantic ambience provide by this charming old hotel. However, few people other than the former staff know of the Guild's past and perhaps current hauntings. The Guild Inn was officially closed to the public in October 2001 and it remains to be announced what will become of the hotel and property. Truly the end of an era in Scarborough.
