-Classic Grand Victorian, with room for the servants up top.
-My cousin and his wife had an apartment in there when they were newly married, 1968. I always thought it was an intriguing building.
-We lived there in 1968 in apartment 3.
-I delivered the to. star in this apt. building.....spooky
-I delivered the Herald and yes Spooky but now beautiful.
-Who was the original owner?
-Grand view house. H.T Arnold. A glove manufacturer
-Glove factory was at 26 guelph st. Where carpet barn is now.
-Some HT Arnold history....Acton supported many industries related to leather, particularly the W.H. Storey glove factory on Bower Avenue. Begun in 1868, Storey employed up to 250 people. He built his family a magnificent home on the corner of Mill and John Streets in 1879. The Storey family left the house at the end of World War 1 when Wilfred Coles ran it as a veterans' home.
It was a hotel until 1937 when it became a funeral home. Storey's son sold the business in 1915 to H.T. Arnold of Georgetown who ran the glove business until 1954. The four storey factory was razed in 1962 to accommodate the new Acton post office.
-Not sure what is going on in this house right now...i heard there was only 1 tenant living there. It is looking in need of some TLC on the outside.
-Gorgeous architecture
-Beautiful and Stately
-My first apt. Lower level left side.
-My very first apt was on the upper floor on the back side of this building... in what used to be servants quarters. It was small but quaint and I loved it.
-My grandparents lived there when I was a small girl.
-...thx so much for this picture. My mom’s aunt Nell Langan married Will Arnold who grew up in this house. Nell and Will lived in Acton after they married . I knew her when growing up in Acton. This is one beautiful home.
-Beautiful.....
-Thought it was made into Condo;s a few years ago?
-Beautiful looking house.
-Work is being done on it, side facing Albert St. They took down some stairs, roof work, parking lot. Started in the summer until recent from what I could see
