“ Every House Tells A Story compiled our Summerhill area home’s history from its beginnings in 1892 to the present. My husband also commissioned a history of his childhood home in The Kingsway. They provided us with copies of original plans and permits as well as land records and photos, among other items. We were particularly happy to have interesting details about all the previous occupants of our house and of the neighbourhood. We highly recommend Every House Tells A Story.”
