At bottom of photo is typed: "Mrs. Ash of Toronto was in Saskatoon and came to Prince Albert to leave this picture with someone who would deliver it to you. It is a picture of the second home of the Diefenbaker family in Todmorden. They lived on the right-hand side. On the back it says the family lived there from 1902-1910, but this is incorrect; they lived there from 1901-1903. Picture was taken in 1905." On back is written: "386 and 388, the houses shown on the other side were torn down about 1950. In their stead and to the rear were built apartments, three stories in height. In 1967, they were still apartments there, immediately south of the Ina Gage Grafton Home. 386 and 388 Don Mills Road, Todmorden about 1905. Don Mills Road was later named North Broadview Avenue as far north as O'Connor Drive. Todmorden was incorporated into East York in 1925. For a short time the Diefenbaker family lived at 388.
