Excerpt from Annual Report and Transaction No. 26 of the Women's Canadian Historical Society of Toronto, 1927-1928I have thought it well to give a short account of the Society's work in the restoration of the interior of Colborne Lodge, the residence of the late John G. And Mrs. Howard who gave High Park to the city.In 1925 at our April meeting, Mrs. A. G. H. White, an honoured member, whose pen-name is Caltha gave a paper entitled Colborne Lodge which was followed by Personal Reminiscences of the Howard Family by Mrs. John Bruce, also a member, who showed some quaint and beautiful jewelry which formerly belonged to Mrs. Howard. These papers were followed by discussion during which several members urged making some attempt toward the restoration and pre servation of the fine Old home, still interesting in its desolate state, of Toronto's benefactor.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
