One of the old homes we walk by on our walk up Euclid Ave.
Here’s some info if interested:


Charles Edward Harwood, the "father of Upland," erected this house in 1891. According to a notice filed in Ontario, Harwood applied to build a house and stable with an estimated cost of $11,000, a very substantial amount for the time. H.L Will was named contractor and Arthur Lincoln was his foreman. A grove was planted on the property. Lot 436 of the Ontario Colony, on which the house is located, was not the only property Harwood owned. With his brother Alfred, Harwood was the "Magnolia Land and Water Company," the entity which ended up owning most of the Magnolia townsite after the Ontario Land Company foreclosed on the Bedford Brothers. Not only did Harwood play a crucial role in the growth of the young community, he was instrumental to the founding of several of its most important institutions.
