Notes
1148 Richmond Street

The first settlers on this property were Chandler "Charles" Dickerson and his wife Lydia, who had purchased a lot north of what is now University Drive. In the 1870s, Dickerson, head carpenter at Hellmuth Ladies College, built several houses on both sides of the Proof Line Road (now Richmond Street) between Brough’s Bridge and the present University of Western Ontario gates. Two of these houses are still standing - 1160 Richmond (Schovaloff Villa), and Green Gables at 1148 Richmond.
