My article in October's Kitchissippi Times was an in-depth history of an important Westboro structure, the McKellar-Bingham House. It's a beautiful old house that has been re-purposed a couple of times, and notably has been divided up now into individual condos. It has thankfully been saved from the wrecking ball on a couple of occasions, and provides a great link to the past, when Westboro and McKellar Park were farmland, and Richmond Road was a farmer's road. I also was happy to finally profile this house to help clear up the occasional confusion people have between it and Maplelawn, a similar-looking house also build by the Thomson family a little to the east on Richmond.
Lots of great photos and history at the online version of the article:
