Braeside, Ontario, Canada
Barber began publishing the John Gillies residence with the “Modern Dwellings” series of pattern books. And because the Gillies family was very prominent in that part of Canada and because Braeside is such a small town, I figured that finding this home, or some history about it, would be fairly easy. And yet, this home remains off the grid. I suspect that it was lost fairly early in its history because most historical resources that I have contacted about it, can’t remember anything about this particular home. Anyway, I am including this home here, in the MIA section, because I would still like to track this one down somehow. While I would love to uncover any old or historic photos of it, I would especially like to uncover where exactly, it was located when it existed. Any help along these lines would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
