Origin
Summary
It has been brought to my attention by the community and a local historian that this property may have architectural and cultural significance. Preliminary research has already been conducted identifying the Brass family, which were a well-known Toronto business owners, as the original occupants of the home. This large home was then converted to a multi-unit dwelling after 1929 and remains so today.
This property is one of the last remaining homes of this character in the area and represents part of the history of the Deer Park neighbourhood. The home is currently up for sale and in order to preserve the existing property as a potential heritage resource, I am requesting that City staff urgently undertake an evaluation for inclusion to the City's Heritage Register.
