BUILDING INFORMATION

Name & Location:

Barbara Gordon House
26 Lowther Avenue
Toronto
Annex

First Owner:

Barbara Gordon

Occupant:

Barbara Gordon

Year Completed:

1878

OTHER IDENTIFICATION

Notes:

An immaculately preserved Gothic Revival-Italianate house built for Barbara Gordon in 1878, the building has in the past been erroneously referred to as the "House for Robert Parker". Parker was the dye works owner that Barbara Gordon married two years after constructing her residence at 26 Lowther Avenue. The street is perhaps named after the Lowther Hills of the Scottish Uplands, whose name is likely in turn derived from the Old Irish word for canal or trench.
