Continuing with the houses. located ah the corner of St. John and King Streets, we look at a home which is outstanding flot onlyfor the man who lived in it but for the architeet who designed it. The hoLîse, on the northwest corner, was designed in 1913 by C. Hill Tt!rnock, an architect fromi Elkhardt, Indiana, who was an associate of the noted American architect Frank.Lloyd Wright. The house is built in the Chicago style of Frank Lloyd Wright, and is te only exanîple of ils kind in Whitby.

From 1913 10 193 1 this unusual house was the homne of George Williami Dryden, registrar of deeds for Ontario Couffty. George Dryden was a miember of an illustrious Whitby family, the mieînbe'rs of which made considerable contribu- tions 10 the community over a period of more than I125 yea rs. His fatlier was James Dryden, a former reeve of Whitby -Township, and prornoter of banks and railways in the area. His brother was tlie Hon. John Dryden, minister of Agricuilture for the Province of Ontario froni 1890 to 1905.
