1878 City of Toronto Directory McGee St

1878 City of Toronto Directory McGee Street. I have always considered McGee part of Leslieville and it was included in the early directories as part of Leslie. It appears the City of Toronto in the 1880s decided on the boundaries of Leslieville as if it were a southern continuation of DeGrassi — which it is not. Or maybe they simply liked to divide things into neat rectangular blocks when they could. In any case, it is not historically accurate and doesn’t make a lot of sense (My opinion — Joanne Doucette). The Leslies on McGee were Robert Leslie, George Leslie’s brother and his family.
