Thomas L. Steiner living in house
The 1866 Mitchell and Company Directory lists a Thomas L. Steiner living in the house. The 1866 directory page shows a mix of both vacant houses and prominent names on Duke Street. The 1853 tax records that list Gordon as living in the house also list the property as belonging to the O’Neill family, who live next door. The O’Neills may have still owned the house at this point. The 1867-9 City of Toronto Directory lists the Stayner family at the house, with no Steiner in the city of Toronto.
