Photos by Alan L Brown - September 2006
Attached to one side of the gate in front of this home at 28 Playter Crescent is a 1984 Toronto Historical Board plaque that says:
This house was erected in the mid-1870's by John Lea Playter, a great grandson of United Empire Loyalist, Captain George Playter, who with his sons, was granted lands on both sides of the Don River near Bloor Street. Located on one of the original grants, this house, though altered over the years by Albert E. Playter and his brother William, remains in the Playter family which has been involved since earliest days in the development of the city.
