The Tyrrell House
Photos by Alan L Brown - October 2006
This house at 64 King Street in Weston has a City of York plaque out front that has this to say:
This building was the home of William Tyrrell. For twenty-seven years (1851-1878) he served on the councils of the Township of York and in 1881 became the first reeve of the town of Weston. Two of his sons, William Burr Tyrrell and Joseph Tyrrell, were surveyors and explored most of the west and the northwest territories. William Tyrrell built many mills and bridges, engineered sewer and water lines and taught apprentices in construction. An outstanding man of his age.
