Shortly thereafter, this Ontario Vernacular home was built for him. The door on the second floor is known as a suicide or mother-in-law door. These doors were often included to indicate to the tax collector that a balcony was yet to be added, placing the house in the unfinished category and exempting the owner from paying taxes. A plaque commemorating Dr. Robinson's distinguished work for the C.N.I.B. has been mounted on the building.   Go to page: [<< Prev]183 184 185 186 187 188 189 190 191 192 193 194 195 196 197 198 199 200 201 202 203 204 205 206 207 208 209 210 211 212 213 [Next >>]
