HISTORY
Teddington Park formed the northern boundary of the City of Toronto in 1912. That
same year, separate plans of subdivision were registered by two prominent Toronto
businessman: Nicholas Garland and Robert Dack. These plans led to the eventual
building of homes in Teddington Park.
Teddington
Park's development as a high-end residential district was inspired
by the Rosedale Golf Club, which had moved from Rosedale to the
Teddington Park area in 1909.
Teddington
Park's older houses on Riverview Drive were originally given descriptive
names such as 'Donnybrook', 'Silverwood', and 'Treetops'. These
names were in leu of municipal addresses, which were not issued
until some time after the houses were built. Some of these houses
still display their historical names. |
