Cranfield House 1902
This house was built for William and Caroline Harris and was named for Caroline's ancestral village. Designed by Toronto architect Henry Simpson, it has elements of two architectural styles. The Flemish gables and tall chimneys represent the Queen Anne Revival style, while the columned porches and patterned windows are associated with Edwardian Classicism. A butcher, William Harris began his career in England. He emigrated to Toronto where he established a meat processing factory in 1869. In 1901, he founded the Harris Abattoir Company, which later became part of Canada Packers Limited. In 1930, the Harris family transferred the house to the Salvation Army, and the building became a social aid centre for 75 years.
