 This area was known as being the original homestead of the Smith clan, starting with Reuben Smith in the 1920s, followed by his son Thomas and the remainder of his extended family.Housing stock and street patterns at that time were chiefly of Edwardian design, and are typified by distinctive, narrow-lot variants of the Dutch Colonial Revival, Classical, and Cotswold styles.Notable landmarks include the Toronto East General Hospital (Sammon & Woodington) a full-service teaching hospital founded in 1929, the Woodbine Heights Royal Canadian Legion (Woodbine-Barker), the Church of the Resurrection (Woodbine & Milverton), founded in 1912 and the Gledhill Public School (Gledhill-King Edward) built 1917.
