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. |
