Of course it was Western that was the boundary. I've lived in the "hood for 41 years, si there are things I remember and things I forget.

I couldn't fit the Richmond-Wellin...hi Barbara! I couldn't fit the Richmond-Wellington address change into the article (its already confusing enough trying to explain the house as a "wellington street landmark" that is a symbol of the old days of Richmond Road :) But yes, up until about 10 years ago it was a Richmond Road address, when the numbering started at Western Avenue. Incidentally, it wasn't #1, it was #45 Richmond (as of the renumbering of 1941, prior to that it was #39 Richmond). Since the numbering started at Western, the house which is now the Diner (the long-time Steacy home) had the lowest number, which was #3 Richmond (though it originally was #1 Richmond until the 1941 renumbering - it may have been moved to #3 to make room in case something got built in the sliver of land adjoining the house). Thanks for reading & commenting, cheers!
