Homes in Thistletown
"Old Thistletown," situated between Islington Avenue and Albion Road, has a forest setting with many of the properties located on premium ravine lots overlooking the Humber River Valley. These houses are highlighted by "Elmbank," the circa 1832 house of Thistletown pioneer John Grubb. Elmbank is located at number 19-23 Jason Road. The Century houses at number 32 and 34 Jason Road were also part of the Grubb farm. Old Thistletown also features a handful of former summer cottages built in the 1910's, as well as bungalows from the 1940's and 50's and a small number of recently designed, custom built homes.
The newer pockets of Thistletown, around Albion Gardens Park and Beaumonde Heights Park, were built up during the 1950's and 1960's. The houses here include ranch-style bungalows, split -level houses, and storey-and-a-half homes.
