was the only building to survive the fire that devastated the neighbourhood in 1915. The area bounded by Royal York Road to the west, the rail line to the north, Scarlett Road to the east and Queen Anne's Road to the south was known as
Village of Lambton Mills. It was settled in the 1840s. The name was linked to the mills (grist, saw mills, woolen mills) that operated along the Humber River from 1850 to 1915. Originally called '''Cooper's Mills''' (c. 1806) after
William Cooper's Grist and Saw Mill, it was renamed in 1838 in honour of
John Lambton, 1st Earl of Durham (High Commissioner and
Governor General of British North America, who visited to the area. Besides the mills, Lambton Mills had its own church, school, and post office. The only remnant of Lambton Mills is the
Lambton House on Old Dundas Street West, open part-time as a museum. The area east of Gooch Avenue was developed in the early 20th century as part of the expanding York Township, a suburb by then of Toronto proper. The area west of Gooch and south of Dundas (Warren Park) was developed starting in the 1950s, with the area only being fully developed by the 1970s. It had been market gardens. Today, the area is primarily a residential area, made up of detached single-family dwellings. Apartment buildings exist along Dundas Street between the Humber and Gooch. A small number of storefronts are located along Dundas West west of Jane to Gooch Ave. ==Education==
