4. David Terry House

(c.1928) 1333 Clarkson Road North

This house was built in 1928 by Arthur “Dad” Durie, and later sold to the Fasken family. David Terry, son of Charles R. Terry, bought the property in 1936. David led the way in terms of innovations for Clarkson farming. He used the latest technologies in refrigeration and product marketing to extend the fruit growing season for strawberries, and for the sale of other soft fruits. He was a founder of Clarkson Co-operative Storage Limited. David wrote a number of articles for the Ontario Department of Agriculture’s annual report, and was feature correspondent for the Fruit Growers’ Association of Ontario.
