Feb., 2019: Summerhill Farm, ca. 1872
Situated on lot 5, concession 8 (southwest of present day Highway 7 and Kipling Avenue), this beautiful home known as “Summerhill”, was built in 1872 by William Jeffrey. The Jeffrey family immigrated from England in 1791 and was one of the earliest families to settle in the Vaughan area. The property was originally purchased by William’s grandfather (ca. 1820) and was passed down over the generations to his male heirs. The property remained within the Jeffrey family until the 1970s.
