Sometimes its hard to pinpoint an exact address on older properties, because the city changed its numbering system a few times in the late 1800's and early 1900's, to accomadate for the growth of the city and the increasing number of buildings. Most of the city's addresses changed about 1928. I find that if you open Lovell's for 1927 and 1928 and compare the residents it helps when trying to pin down the address of a particular property.

I've been wondering about it for more than 20 years, most recently just last week when I was having breakfast at Place Milton.

Does checking city's historical property records require a trip to the office at Bluery and Kennedy? Thanks for the interesting piece, in particular the pointer to Lovell’s directory.

Always wondered about that place too. Haha I used to eat at Place Milton every day when I went to McGill (I even remember when it was just a little diner). Always wondered about that place too.
