- . WILL of Robt. Johnston:
Daughters MARGARET.1 & SARAH: My lot on Toronto street, north of the right of way, to the rear of the lot before mentioned. To be equally divided between them, share & share alike as tenants in common & not just as tenants. 12 Aug.1843. Estate Files J4.
(With others, on Newgate St & now named Adelaide St., in the quadrangle adjoining the lot with the store at King & Toronto St Also Aunt Margaret Johnson & her husband owned land on Toronto street. - P J Ahlberg)
. Drawings of 'Checked Store,' on King Street; may also be found in early Toronto newspapers advertisements.
Across the road from Marg. & Sarah's home is Toronto's first Post Office, located at 260 Adelaide Street East. It was built in 1834 & from here we can almost hear the voices of the Johnstons, Lawrences & Willsons posting a letter or opening news from New Jersey. Today it is both an operating post office & a museum (2010). - PJ Ahlberg.
