Lawrence Park Real Estate
The Lawrence Park subdivision was assembled in 1907 by the Dovercourt
Land Building and Saving Company. The Dovercourt Land Company acquired
the north parcel of Lawrence Park from John Lawrence, after whom
this neighbourhood is named. Lawrence Park's development was sporadic.
The building of houses was interrupted by two world wars, a recession,
and a depression. It wasn't until the 1950's that this neighbourhood
was completely developed.
