John George Howard was a Drawing Master at Upper Canada College, appointed City Surveyor in 1843, subsequently becoming City Engineer shortly after. In 1873 he conveyed 120 acres of his property known as "High park" to the city of Toronto on condition that it be used as a public park forever. Mr. Howard and his wife are buried in the park.
The cairn is constructed of granite boulders bedded in Portland cement, topped with a double pedestal which terminates in a Maltese cross. This consecrated ground is surrounded by a portion of the iron railing which for 160 years surrounded St. Paul's Cathedral, London, England.
