-who remembers the Noose that use to hang from the rafters outside on the park st side..
-is it gone?
-yeah
-Been gone for awhile
-yes i remember seeing it
-I still look for it whenever I'm downtown.
-Story went place was haunted after some one died there. As a kid used to run by the place. Scared me!!
-Story I remember was they used to hang people there back in the day!!!!!! Always shied away from the place myself......
-I remember your Mom taking me there as a child to play with other kids she babysat.
-I remember the noose. I recall legend had it that something bad happened (death, bad luck, fire...I can't remember what) if it was to be taken down. It hung there for years...I looked every time I went past. I don't live in Georgetown any more so have no idea if it is still hanging there.
-residence of John Roaf Barber, Built by E. J. Lennox in 1880
-He also built Toronto's "Old City Hall" and Casa Loma
-Spray on stucco was not a Lennox feature.
-cant tell from this picture but I wonder if there's stone under neath all that
-and ... Clearly they took out all the fire places.. I would have loved to see it in all it's glory..
-what was it when it was first built
-Single family home for John Barber
-when I was a little girl i used to go there to visit with my family it was beautiful , yrs later i worked for Col, Barber who was born in this house I have his christening blanket from 1907,, he grew up in splendor, he owned Barber Travel & Insurance co, and his house on Market st has been restored beside the Library and is for sale I think for 2 million .
-it was built for the Barber. I believe col Barbers father was the first owner. Who was the owner of Barber mill.
-My mom lived there for awhile before she passed away.
-Didn't Lennox design the high school of the day too?
-yes
-The trees are gone and the street level has changed and the stonework along the sidewalk is gone.
-Visited many times. Friends of my Mom and Dads. Do not remember who. I never saw a noose.
-I delivered the Globe there for years.… nice old ladies...good tippers!!!
-it was not haunted I was there all the time, and believe me I would Know !! just saying
-Those were the rumours Georgetown full of them lol
-Was there a noose? I don't recall?
-yes there was---for yrs! It was hanging in the balcony on the peak on the left...looked every time I passed by
-was there in the early 80s while I was at GDHS.. walked by it all the time.
-Has anyone explained why...seems vaguely like something weird hanging down..ohh gives me the chills
-always wondered if it was just a wire that looked like one---dont remember a story to it
-I also delivered globe here in late 68. Along with Canada Trust, Stan’s restaurant, Mackenzie’s. Same route?
-we must have known each other. I either showed you the route or took over from you around that time. Do you remember the noose?
-Vaguely remember the noose. Took route over from one of the Smiths on Maple Ave. The year may have been 1967, or even 69. It is all very foggy.
-Lived at 29 Park Ave., for a while when we moved from John St. The house right across the road, (facing Park) is old too.
-the creepy house
-When I was a kid, I called this place "the castle".
-We were always told that it is haunted. When i was in high school, one of the teachers lived there, Miss Knocker, i shit you not. LOL.
-Miss McKay another teacher lived there as well.
-I had her as well for a teacher, didnt know she lived there.
-her and Miss knocker-Shared an apartment.
-Looks the same as it did 40 years ago when I lived next door
-My brother used to live there in the seventies and all I remember from there were the bats that used to be hanging just outside his door. There was always a broom just inside their apartment that his wife could swat at them with when she had to go out somewhere. Funny, the crap you remember, eh?
-Yes, between Berwick Hall, Knox Church, and the library seeing bats flapping overhead at night was not unusual, if you lived in that part of town.
