-Is there a date for this picture and a location?
-Is this on MacIntyre?
-Macintyre. Not sure of the year. 1950s.
-That house is still there.
-It is a condo now.
-Love this house look at it out my front window every day 🤗
-That is my grandparents place , Reids there was a large farm there where the Mall and sub division is
- I did not no that was your grandparents place.
-Yes actually My Great Grandfather built the house Robert Reid , then My Grandda took over William Reid. I have the Walnut Mantel from the fireplace that was in the parlor
-It was moved to where it sits now was it not?
-my first house was built by rex heslop homes
-Didn't the windmill have the Georgetown Marketplace sign on it for many years at the highway 7 entrance?
-Grew up across the street from this house
-The haunted house! That's what we call it here on McIntyre. The photo looks like something out of the Adam's Family.
-even then it looked creepy
-lol for sure
-The McIntyre Mansion!
- the Reid Family built that house belonging to a large dairy farm
-I stand corrected. For awhile people called it McIntyre Mansion though.
-we lived there!!! that back window on the left was the kitchen the middle window was my bedroom and the last one was the living room as well as the front one!!!
-Wow! I don't remember a time in your life when you lived there Rachel Baker Briscoe. How old were you when you lived here?
-McIntyre spooky house loved Halloween there
-Oh ya fun times
-I live down the street from you #12 McIntyre 😎
-it’s been a very long time 🙂 McIntyre was a great street to grow up on.
-My Mom and Dad still live in the same house.I love that street growing up 😎
-That’s great, I actually check out the street when I visit Gtown.
-Is that at the go bus station?
-No on Macintyre
-My Dad worked for Rex Heslop in the early 60's.
-Lived across the road from there for 15 years or so McIntyre was a great st to raise kids on
-Something eerily sad about that pic but I guess it’s progress
-It was a very grand farm house in the day.
-Lived right across the road at 96 McIntyre Cres - great Street with tons of kids and lots of ball hockey and “kick the can” games. Those days are long gone for kids today!
-I lived there too in 65-67 area. We lived in the front left looking at it face on. It was a one bedroom with a small kitchen and huge livingroom. The bathroom was upstairs all by itself
-Rex created Rexdale, Delrex.
- the TSR went through their "backyard"...
-Wow! We lived across from it too! 90 McIntyre Cres. Lots of great games of hide and seek as kids around that ol’ house! Is it still standing? Good me memories....
-That is an awesome picture so they used the old mansion as a sales office??
-I'd say 1958-65 maybe???? Looks like the Addams Family house!
-...Heslop, the developer of Rexdale in Etobicoke, had purchased several farms on Georgetown's eastern boundary in 1954. By 1958, he and his wife Delma and their two children - Marilyn and Rex Jr. - had moved into their brand new spacious home on Heslop Court.
Heslop then tried a similar venture to Rexdale, but this time in Georgetown by creating another subdivision, this one called Delrex. He ran into political problems and tired of name-calling and in-fighting, sold his interest and retired at the age of 61.
-Sadly he also served time in jail for trying to influence members of the council. The mayor then, Ernie Hyde, recorded the conversations. That broke his spirit. Also, the lack of water and sewage capacity slowed development. The lands that are now Georgetown South were all part of the Heslop land purchase options. Bruce McLaughlin (Mr. Square One) bought the options but built nothing and sold it off later, after trying to sue the town for stalling development.
-wow that certainly is interesting historical trivia. Mayor Ern Hyde was my uncle and brother-in-law to my dad Don Humberstone
-Reid Farm.
-Ron's aunt and uncle had an apartment there back in early sixties
-didn't DR McIntosh live in that house at one time??
-No his home and office was down around the corner
