Chedington Commemorative Plaque, 2013
Description
In 1928, a Tudor Revival-style residence, known as Chedington, was built on this site for financier Edward R. Wood. Located next to Wood's own home, Glendon Hall, Chedington was given as a gift to his daughter, Mildred, upon her marriage to stockbroker Murray Fleming. The two-and-a-half storey building was designed by the architecture firm Molesworth, West and Secord, and featured patterned brickwork, half-timbering, and carved wood trim.
Chedington was sold in 1947, becoming the home of businessman Samuel Fingold. In 1987, the Fingold family proposed residential development on part of the estate. The property was subsequently sold to a developer who built the condominiums in 1997.
In 2009, Chedington was severely damaged by fire, and the remains were eventually demolished in 2013.
