On the right side see a stucco-clad Montgomery’s Inn and Mary Appleby’s 3 cousins, the Pickerings. Photo taken in front of the Appleby house at 4872 Dundas. In the background right to left, Jubilee Hall, moved from a site across from Islington’s Burying Grounds, the Tiers house, and the roof line of Montgomery Inn in the distance.
