Notes
This house, at the southwest corner of King and St. John Streets, was built in 1914 for Dr. Horace Bascom, Registrar of the Ontario County Courts and later Sheriff. After Dr. Bascom's death in 1956 the house was owned by Duncan McIntyre.

Marjorie Georgina Ruddy (1908-1980) was a prominent Whitby photographer and the only commercial photographer in Whitby during the 1930s and 1940s. Marjorie was the official photographer for the Whitby Police Department starting in the 1930s and as a result took many photographs of car accidents, fingerprints and crime scenes. (Station Gallery.
