An additional note from Katrina Guy,
Cultural Heritage Coordinator at the City of Vaughan:
While this house is known for it’s connection to the Noble family and Lord Beaverbrook, it was also a Doctor’s residence and clinic/office from before World War I until well into the 1970s. Sarah Noble had a son, who was also a doctor and when his sister (who had been living alone in the house) died, he sold it to a Doctor he knew, who sold it to another doctor. In 1933, it was sold to Dr. Bigford, who practiced and resided in the house until the 1970’s. I believe the more recent addition to the house (on the south side) was during his tenure and it was after he died that the property was purchased by the City.
