Details |
Mulholland Street was situated in the town of Owen Sound. Some of the street names were named after prominent people of the town. This street was likely named in honour of the Rev. Mulholland of St. George's Church at Owen Sound. In 1909, the new name for the street was 3rd Avenue West (Charlotte St., Mulholland St. and Melville Street ran north-south and hence became an avenue when the town decided to adopt a New York-style street numbering system. In 1892, some of the residents of Mulholland Street are listed in the Rutherford's Directory of Owen Sound. John W. Redfern (Redfern & LePan) was at 175 Mulholland. John Robinson, a drygoods store owner, resided on the street. Arthur Nash was a resident. Mrs. Jane McCallum resided at 223 Mulholland. Wm. Harry Miller of Miller Bros. was at 241 Mulholland. Dr. Arthur G. Machell's residence was at 189 Mulholland. The Cowie family were residents. Jas. C. Creighton's residence was at the corner of Frost & Mulholland (Frost is now 10th St. West). Judge Creasor's large residence was there, next door to the Bishop residence. Judge Creasor's house was also the American Consulate location for a while. The Bishop residence was renamed as 948 3rd Ave. West in 1909. It is now the Billy Bishop heritage museum, as William Avery Bishop Jr. (Billy) grew up there before he became famous during the First World War as a flying ace and was awarded the Victoria Cross. |
