Chaplin Street Sign
The Chaplin Estates neighbourhood began with a plan of subdivision, registered by William John Chaplin and his son James D. Chaplin, who had been landowners in this area dating back to 1860. Chaplin Estates was marketed as a high class residential district. The developers included a long list of building restrictions and zoning bylaws in the sale of each property. There were no semi-detached houses allowed, and stucco exteriors were not to cover more than half the house. Most of the lots were sold between 1921 and 1925 and the majority of its houses were built in the 1920's and 1930's, and include many fine examples of Tudor, Georgian, and English Cottage style architecture.
